As per section 50(3) interest is applicable @ 24% where there is mismatch of ITC between supplies shown by suppliers and ITC taken by recipients. However this section is flawed as it pertains to GSTR-2 & GSTR-3.
The condition to avail ITC as per Act is payment of Tax by supplier and therefore it is effected by GSTR-3B. Thereis no way to determine whether the supplier has shown specific supplies of specific recipient in GSTR-3B as it has consolidated amounts.
Condition of availing ITC as per Rule 36(4) is considered ultra vires by many professionals and interest on excess ITC due to this is not governed by any section.
