eligible for ITC)
Additional Input tax credit Condition in GST after 9th October 2019
Input tax credit to be availed by a registered person in respect of invoices or debit notes, the details of
which have not been uploaded by the suppliers under sub-section (1) of section 37, shall not exceed 20
per cent. of the eligible credit available in respect of invoices or debit notes the details of which have
been uploaded by the suppliers under sub-section (1) of section 37 (GSTR 1 Monthly – 11th of
Succeeding month, Quarterly – Month end after quartier end)

S.No Issue Clarification


1. Which Invoice needs to be uploaded by Supplier Following Invoice need not to be uploaded
by supplier –
 Import Bill of Entry
 Reverse Charge Payment
 Credit Recd from ISD
Rest all invoiced need to be uploaded by
supplier
2. Restriction of 20% is Supplier wise or consolidated Restriction is on consolidated basis

Further Calculation would be based on


otherwise eligible invoices only, Blocked
credit will not be considered

Why Monthly Reconciliation in GST is Compulsory after 9th


October 2019
1. Credit to be taken in Credit Available in 2A - Blocked Credit – Invoice reflected in 2A but Goods or Service
particular month Not received = Eligible Credit *120% subject to maximum ITC

This exercise needs to be done every month and GSTR 1 should be filed within due
date

Suppose we are filing GSTR 3B for month Oct 2019, We have to verify 2A before
filing GSTR 3B

Quarterly filing Supplier’s recipients cannot avail their credit for supplies received
during the month of Oct-19, Nov-19 and Dec-19 since their due date of filing GSTR-1
is 31st Jan-19. Their credit can be availed only after 31st Jan 19 i.e. in GSTR-3B for
the month Jan-19. This will lead to very high amount of credit blocked and cash
outflow specially suppliers whose recipients are only SMEs and availing quarterly
filing. This will increase reconciliation issue so we should suggest our supplier to
adopt monthly GSTR filing

e.g
ABC Received 100 invoice involving ITC of Rs 15 lac in Oct 19 and they have to take
credit in GSTR 3B of Oct by 20th November
Case Details of suppliers’ 20% of eligible Eligible ITC to be taken in
No invoices for which credit where GSTR-3B to be filed by 20th
recipient is eligible invoices are Nov.

10 lakhs as on the and check further month 2A
due date of also to ensure whether any
furnishing of the credit relating to particular
details of outward month e.g. Oct 19 is reflected

suppliers.

2 Suppliers have 13,00,000*20% 13,00,000+2,00,000=15,00,000


furnished in FORM =2,60,000 The additional amount of ITC
GSTR-1 85 invoices availed shall be limited to
involving ITC of Rs. ensure that the total ITC
