02 August 2024 If you have claimed the wrong Input Tax Credit (ITC) for FY 2017-18 by taking CGST and SGST instead of IGST and now you are facing mismatches in your GSTR-9, here’s a structured approach to rectify the situation without making additional payments:

### **1. Understanding the Issue**

- **Wrong ITC Claimed:** You claimed CGST and SGST when you should have claimed IGST. This mismatch has led to discrepancies in your GSTR-9 reconciliation.
- **No Sales/Purchases in FY 2018-19:** You have not made any purchases or sales in FY 2018-19, and you have been filing nil returns.

### **2. Rectification Steps**

#### **A. Self-Assessment and Reconciliation**

1. **Reconcile ITC Records:**
- Review the ITC claimed for FY 2017-18 and compare it with your actual tax liabilities and GST returns.
- Ensure you have accurate documentation of the wrongly claimed credits and the correct IGST that should have been claimed.

2. **Verify the Amount:**
- Calculate the total amount of CGST and SGST wrongly claimed and compare it with the IGST that should have been claimed.

#### **B. Rectification in GSTR-9**

1. **GSTR-9 Filing:**
- In GSTR-9 for FY 2017-18, you need to disclose the incorrect ITC claim and make the necessary adjustments.
- Report the excess CGST and SGST in Table 10 of GSTR-9 as ITC reversal. If Table 10 does not allow for negative entries, report the excess credit in Table 12 as adjustments.

2. **Table 10: ITC Reversal:**
- You can record the ITC amount wrongly claimed (CGST and SGST) in Table 10 under the section for ITC reversal.

3. **Table 12: Other Reversals:**
- If necessary, use Table 12 to mention any adjustments or additional information related to ITC adjustments.

#### **C. No Additional Payment Needed**

1. **Utilize Available Credit:**
- Ensure that you use any available ITC balance in the cash ledger or ITC ledger effectively to settle any potential liabilities.
- If you have correctly accounted for the liability by adjusting the cash ledger, you may not need to make additional payments.

2. **Nil Returns Filing:**
- Continue filing nil returns if you have no further transactions and ensure that all your records are accurate and up-to-date.

#### **D. Communicate with Tax Authorities**

1. **File an Application:**
- If discrepancies persist, you might consider filing an application with the GST authorities for a rectification of the mismatch. Provide a detailed explanation of the error and steps taken to rectify it.

2. **Contact GST Helpline:**
- Reach out to the GST helpline or consult with a GST practitioner for advice on how to handle the mismatch and possible solutions.

### **3. Documentation and Compliance**

1. **Maintain Records:**
- Keep detailed records of all communications, adjustments, and rectifications made.
- Ensure that you have proof of the correction steps and any correspondence with the tax authorities.

2. **Review GST Returns:**
- Regularly review your GST returns and ITC claims to avoid similar issues in the future.

### **Summary:**

- **Self-Reconcile and Adjust:** Reconcile the ITC records and make necessary adjustments in GSTR-9.
- **Report in Returns:** Use GSTR-9 to disclose and rectify the incorrect ITC.
- **Avoid Additional Payment:** Ensure correct utilization of ITC balance and adjust any discrepancies.
- **Consult Authorities:** If needed, consult with GST authorities or a tax professional for further guidance.

By following these steps, you should be able to rectify the ITC mismatch and address the issue without incurring additional costs.
