A case where, the businessman has been registered as a Composition Dealer by a GST consultant, has been collecting tax in the bills as a Regular Dealer.

Even though the invoices/bills show separately tax collected, the consultant continued to file his returns on composition basis making computation from these very invoices.

This went on for more than a year till the customers started complaining the businessman for not getting invoice details of their purchase on GST Portal.

Clarification sought : is there a possibility for paying the tax collected after adjusting Input Tax Credit along with interest with retrospective effect despite his registration as a composite dealer.
