Reversal under Rule 37 — failure to pay supplier within 180 days — the recipient must:
AWait for the supplier to demand
BNo interest, only ITC reversal
CReverse only the principal credit
DPay an amount equal to ITC availed + interest at 18% per Sec 50, through GSTR-3B for the month immediately following the expiry of 180 days
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Pay an amount equal to ITC availed + interest at 18% per Sec 50, through GSTR-3B for the month immediately following the expiry of 180 days
1. Rule 37 (substituted w.e.f. 01.10.2022) — if value + tax not paid within 180 days, the recipient must pay an amount equal to the ITC availed.
2. This is to be furnished in Form GSTR-3B for the tax period immediately following the expiry of the 180-day window.
3. Interest applies at the Sec 50 rate (18% p.a.). On subsequent payment to supplier, ITC can be re-availed (no time bar).
