In the GSTR-9 for the financial year 2021-22, unclaimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) from the financial year 2020-21 should generally be reported in Table 8 of the GSTR-9 form. Here’s how you can show it:
### Steps to Show Unclaimed ITC in GSTR-9:
1. **Access GSTR-9 Form**: Log in to the GST portal and navigate to the GSTR-9 form for the relevant financial year (2021-22 in your case).
2. **Table 8 - ITC Reversal/Reclaim Details**: This table is used to provide details of ITC reversal or reclaim. Here’s how you can report unclaimed ITC:
- **Part II - Details of Outward Supplies and ITC**: - **Table 8B (2) - ITC Reversed**: If any ITC claimed in FY 2020-21 was reversed subsequently, you should report it here. - **Table 8C (3) - Other ITC Reversal**: If there are any other ITC reversals not covered in Table 8B, they can be reported here. - **Table 8D (4) - ITC Reclaimed**: If there was any ITC that was reversed earlier but reclaimed subsequently in FY 2021-22, report it here.
3. **Specific Entry for Unclaimed ITC**: Since unclaimed ITC from FY 2020-21 wasn’t utilized in the same year, it doesn’t need to be reversed. Instead, you should ensure it reflects appropriately in the opening balance of ITC for FY 2021-22.
4. **Documentation and Reconciliation**: Ensure that you have reconciled the unclaimed ITC amount from FY 2020-21 with your GST records. Maintain proper documentation to support the figures reported in GSTR-9.
5. **Accuracy and Compliance**: Double-check all figures entered into GSTR-9 to ensure accuracy and compliance with GST regulations. Any discrepancies should be rectified before submission.
### Additional Tips: - If there are specific instructions or additional tables required based on your state or special category of registration, follow those instructions provided by the GST portal. - Consider consulting with a tax professional or GST advisor if you have complex scenarios or if you are unsure about how to correctly report unclaimed ITC in GSTR-9.
By correctly reporting unclaimed ITC in GSTR-9, you ensure compliance with GST regulations and maintain accurate records of your tax liabilities and credits for the financial year.
