3. ITC availed where Place of Supply is not your state, while the credit is not blocked in 17(5). What should you do?

 

If Place of Supply is not same as Location of Recipient, the credit of CGST & SGST is not available and will not be visible in Table 8A. So, if such ITC is claimed it has to be Reversed along with Interest and to be reported in Table 7 other Reversals.

Example

A’s GSTIN belongs to Karnataka, he bought goods from a supplier B and asked him to ship it Haryana. The Place of Supply mentioned by the B in GSTR 1 is Haryana (06) instead of Karnataka (29).

A claimed the ITC in his 3B and not reversed till date.
