If your customer has a GST number and is demanding input tax credit (ITC) claim for the invoice that was declared under B2CL (Business to Consumer Large) in your GSTR-1 for October 2022, you should consider the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. **Verify the Customer's GSTIN:** - Double-check whether the customer's GSTIN (GST Identification Number) provided by them matches the one you have on record. Ensure it is valid and active.
2. **Issue Correct Invoice:** - If the customer's GSTIN is valid and they are eligible for claiming ITC, issue a revised invoice with correct details that include their GSTIN. This revised invoice should replace the original B2CL invoice.
3. **Communication with Customer:** - Inform the customer about the issuance of the revised invoice and provide them with a copy for their records and ITC claim.
4. **Update GSTR-1:** - Amend your GSTR-1 for October 2022 to include the revised invoice details with the customer's GSTIN. This ensures that the transaction is correctly reported to the GST portal.
5. **Reconciliation and Payment:** - After the customer receives the revised invoice, they can reconcile it with their records and claim the ITC accordingly in their GSTR-3B filing.
6. **Follow-Up:** - Maintain communication with the customer to ensure they have received the revised invoice and are able to process their ITC claim without further issues.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of your customer demanding input tax credit against the invoice declared under B2CL in your GSTR-1. It's crucial to ensure all documentation and communication are clear and accurate to facilitate smooth processing of ITC claims.
