Suppose GST availed is Rs. 200000/- for 2018-19. Utilised the whole ITC for outward supplies during 2018-19.
Later on found, ITC Rs. 200000/- availed was ineligible/wrong availment.
Whether:- Reversal of ITC alongwith interest would suffice or whether Cash payment (from ECL) has to be made for outward supplies already made in 2018-19 utilising wrongly availed ITC.
Two doubts: (1) As per section 50(3) of CGST Act, ineligible ITC if utilised, then interest is liable to be paid. In this case, ineligible ITC has been availed and utilised in 2018-19. Hence, whether mere payment of interest would be sufficient.
(2) If eligible ITC availed in future period, say for example 2019-2020, whether liability arised in 2018-19 (due to wrong availment and utilisation of ITC) can be reversed alongwith interest and the liability be settled.
