Since FY 2018, April our ITC is accumulated in SGST head after utilization as per order, we got SCN to reverse excess ITC claimed along with interest & we paid excess claimed ITC through DRC-03 but now officer is asking to pay interest on same reversal from month of June 2018 because we haven't credit balance in IGST & CGST. Officer is suggesting that you have pay interest on IGST & CGST because you haven't balance in respective head. We are in argue to them we have accumulated balance in SGST head due to order of utilization/sequence of utilisation. Then why we have to pay interest ?? We are paying IGST from CGST & SGST each month.
Is there any way to avoid interest payment in above case. expecting reply as per GST Law.
