(ba) the details of input tax credit in respect of the said supply communicated to such registered person under section 38 has not been restricted;<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 99 seeks to amend section 16 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 by inserting a new clause (ba) in sub-section (2) thereof, so as to provide that input tax credit with respect to a supply may be availed only when such credit has not been restricted in the details communicated to the registered person under section 38.<\/p>\n

This is a new condition which is to be satisfied for availment of input tax credit. Now, input tax credit with respect to a supply may be availed only when such credit has not been restricted in the details communicated to the registered person under section 38.<\/p>\n

Having such restrictions has defeated the purpose of implementation of GST because GST law was expected to have seamless flow of credit.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Proposed Amendment Provisions:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

(c) subject to the provisions of section 41, the tax charged in respect of such supply has been actually paid to the Government, either in cash or through utilisation of input tax credit admissible in respect of the said supply; and<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 99 seeks to omit so as to remove reference to section 43A.<\/p>\n

This provision had been enacted when the new GST returns were in the pipeline. but has not been notified till date. Later, the idea of the new returns was scrapped.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Section 43A is now proposed to be removed from the GST law. Consequently, the reference to Section 43A would also be removed from the conditions for availment of ITC.<\/p>\n

(4) A registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax credit in respect of any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after the due date of furnishing of the return<\/u> under section 39 for the month of September<\/u> following the end of financial year<\/u> to which such invoice or debit note pertains or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier:<\/p>\n

Proposed Amendment Provisions:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

(4) A registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax credit in respect of any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after the thirtieth day of November following the end of<\/u> financial year<\/u> to which such invoice or debit note pertains or furnishing of the relevant annual
\n return, whichever is earlier:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 99 seeks to amend sub-section (4) so as to provide that a registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax credit in respect of any invoice or debit note after the thirtieth day of November following the end of the financial year to which such invoice or debit note pertains, or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the due date of availment of Input tax credit for any financial year was provided as the due date of furnishing of the return under section 39 for the month of September i.e. 20th October in case of monthly return filers and 22nd \/ 24th October in case of quarterly return filers. <\/p>\n

The due date of availing ITC is now proposed to be extended upto 30th November following the end of<\/u> financial year<\/u>. This means that in case of forward charge, ITC can only be availed if it appears in GSTR-2B upto the month of October and not afterwards. <\/p>\n

\n

Clause 100 seeks to amend clause (b) of sub-section (2) of section 29 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act so as to provide that the registration of a person paying tax under section 10 is liable to be cancelled if the return for a financial year has not been furnished beyond three months from the due date of furnishing of the said return.<\/p>\n

Currently, the registration can be cancelled for a composition taxpayer if they do not furnish their return for three consecutive tax periods. This proposal clarifies that if the person registered under composition fails to furnish the designated return i.e. GSTR-4 beyond 3 months from the due date, the proper officer may proceed suo-motu for cancellation of registration after affording an opportunity of being heard.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(c) any registered person, other than a person specified in clause (b), has not furnished returns for such continuous tax period as may be<\/u> prescribed<\/u>; or<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 100 seeks to amend clause (c) of the said sub-section (2) so as to provide for prescribing continuous tax periods for which return has not been furnished, which would make a registration liable for cancellation, in respect of any registered person, other than a person specified in clause (b) thereof.<\/p>\n

Currently, the registration can be cancelled for a normal taxpayer if they do not furnish their return for six consecutive months. <\/p>\n

The proposed criteria for cancellation of registration is that the returns have not been filed for the prescribed period. <\/p>\n

\n

Clause 101 seeks to amend sub-section (2) of section 34 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act so as to provide for thirtieth day of November following the end of the financial year, or the date of furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier, as the last date for issuance of credit notes in respect of any supply made in a financial year.<\/p>\n

Currently, the due date for issuance of credit note is September following the end of the financial year to which the supply relates. The said due date for credit note is proposed to be extended to 30th November following the year in which the supply was made.<\/p>\n

Proposed Amendment Provisions:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

(1) Every registered person, other than an Input Service Distributor, a non-resident taxable person and a person paying tax under the provisions of section 10 or section 51 or section 52, subject to<\/u> such conditions and restrictions and,<\/u> in such form and manner as may be prescribed, the details of outward supplies of goods or services or both effected during a tax period on or before the tenth day of the month succeeding the said tax period and such details shall, subject to such conditions<\/u> and restrictions, within such time and in such<\/u> manner as may be prescribed, be communicated to the recipient of the said supplies<\/u>:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 102 seeks to amend sub-section (1) of section 37 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act so as to provide for prescribing conditions and restrictions for furnishing the details of outward supply and the conditions and restrictions as well as manner and time for communication of the details of such outward supplies to concerned recipients.<\/p>\n

Section 37 of the CGST Act is being amended so as to provide for prescribing conditions and restrictions for furnishing the details of outward supply and for communication of the details of such outward supplies to concerned recipients. <\/p>\n

They have substituted the words “shall furnish, electronically,” by this we presume that they may even allow the filling of details of outward supplies manually i.e. by mode other than electronic.<\/p>\n

Another amendment is substitution of the way in which details shall be communicated to the recipient of supplies. This gives wide power to impose conditions and restrictions by way of delegated legislature i.e. CGST Rules.<\/p>\n

(2) Every registered person, other than an Input Service Distributor or a non-resident taxable person or a person paying tax under the provisions of section 10 or section 51 or section 52, shall furnish, electronically, the details of inward supplies of taxable goods or services or both, including inward supplies of goods or services or both on which the tax is payable on reverse charge basis under this Act and inward supplies of goods or services or both taxable under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act or on which integrated goods and services tax is payable under section 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, and credit or debit notes received in respect of such supplies during a tax period after the tenth day but on or before the fifteenth day of the month succeeding the tax period in such form and manner as may be prescribed:<\/p>\n

Provided that the Commissioner may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, by notification, extend the time limit for furnishing such details for such class of taxable persons as may be specified therein:<\/p>\n

Provided further that any extension of time limit notified by the Commissioner of State tax or Commissioner of Union territory tax shall be deemed to be notified by the Commissioner. <\/p>\n

(3) The details of supplies modified, deleted or included by the recipient and furnished under sub-section (2) shall be communicated to the supplier concerned in such manner and within such time as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

(4) The details of supplies modified, deleted or included by the recipient in the return furnished under sub-section (2) or sub-section (4) of section 39 shall be communicated to the supplier concerned in such manner and within such time as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

(5) Any registered person, who has furnished the details under sub-section (2) for any tax period and which have remained unmatched under section 42 or section 43, shall, upon discovery of any error or omission therein, rectify such error or omission in the tax period during which such error or omission is noticed in such manner as may be prescribed, and shall pay the tax and interest, if any, in case there is a short payment of tax on account of such error or omission, in the return to be furnished for such tax period:<\/p>\n

Provided that no rectification of error or omission in respect of the details furnished under sub-section (2) shall be allowed after furnishing of the return under section 39 for the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such details pertain, or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n

Proposed Amendment Provisions:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

38. Communication of details of inward supplies and input tax credit. – (1) The details of outward supplies furnished by the registered persons under sub-section (1) of section 37 and of such other supplies as may be prescribed, and an autogenerated statement containing the details of input tax credit shall be made available electronically to the recipients of such supplies in such form and manner, within such time, and subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

(2) The auto-generated statement under sub-section (1) shall consist of<\/p>\n

(a) details of inward supplies in respect of which credit of input tax may be available to the recipient; and<\/p>\n

(b) details of supplies in respect of which such credit cannot be availed, whether wholly or partly, by the recipient, on account of the details of the said supplies being furnished under sub-section
\n of section 37,<\/p>\n

(i) by any registered person within such period of taking registration as may be prescribed; or<\/p>\n

(ii) by any registered person, who has defaulted in payment of tax and where such default has continued for such period as may be prescribed; or<\/p>\n

(iii) by any registered person, the output tax payable by whom in accordance with the statement of outward supplies furnished by him under the said subsection during such period, as may be prescribed, exceeds the output tax paid by him during the said period by such limit as may be prescribed; or<\/p>\n

(iv) by any registered person who, during such period as may be prescribed, has availed credit of input tax of an amount that exceeds the credit that can be availed by him in accordance with clause (a), by such limit as may be prescribed; or <\/p>\n

(v) by any registered person, who has defaulted in discharging his tax liability in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (12) of section 49 subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed; or<\/p>\n

(vi) by such other class of persons as may be prescribed."<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 103 seeks to substitute a new section for section 38 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act. Sub section (1) seeks to provide for prescribing such other supplies as well as the manner, time, conditions and restrictions for communication of details of inward supplies and input tax credit to the recipient by means of an auto-generated statement and to do away with two-way communication process in return filing.<\/p>\n

Sub-section (2) seeks to provide for the details of inward supplies in respect of which input tax credit may be availed and the details of supplies on which input tax credit cannot be availed by the recipient.<\/p>\n

First, the heading f this section has been changed from “Furnishing details of inward supplies” to “Communication of details of inward supplies and input tax credit”.<\/p>\n

The following is the summary of the new Section 38:<\/p>\n

1. Details of GSTR-1 filed \/ IFF furnished by the supplier would be available to the recipient in such form (GSTR-2B) and manner, and subject to conditions and restrictions as prescribed. <\/p>\n

2. GSTR-2B will consist of two parts – ITC available and ITC not available to the recipient.<\/p>\n

3. The following may be the reasons for classifying the ITC as ‘Not available’ as per GSTR-2B in the hands of the recipient: <\/p>\n

a. Inward supply is received from a supplier having new registration (upto the prescribed time period)<\/p>\n

b. Supplier has defaulted in payment of tax and the default has continued for the prescribed time period <\/p>\n

c. Tax paid in GSTR-3B Is lower than the output tax shown in GSTR-1 by the prescribed limit <\/p>\n

d. Inward supply is received from a supplier who has taken more ITC in GSTR-2B than in GSTR-3B by the prescribed limit <\/p>\n

e. Supplier has paid higher proportion of taxes from his electronic credit ledger than what is allowed as per law <\/p>\n

f. Other Notified persons <\/p>\n

Now, the auto generated statement will become the document to be relied upon by the tax officers for allowing or disallowing the ITC. <\/p>\n

Such restrictions are draconian and arbitrary as these provisions will cause more hardship to the taxpayers. <\/p>\n

Further, the total credit of recipient is now being subjected to the act of the supplier and therefore any non-compliance at the end of supplier will cause denial of ITC to the recipient. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

“Provided that every registered person furnishing return under the proviso to sub-section (1) shall pay to the Government, in such form and manner, and within such time, as may be prescribed,
\n an amount equal to the tax due taking into account inward and outward supplies of goods or services or both, input tax credit availed, tax payable and such other particulars during a month; or

Clause 104 seeks to substitute the first proviso to sub-section (7) so as to provide an option to the persons furnishing return under proviso to sub-section (1) to pay either the self- assessed tax or an amount that may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

The amendment has been made for taxpayers paying under QRMP scheme.<\/p>\n

Now, the proposed amendment says that the registered person covered under proviso to section 39(1) shall pay-<\/p>\n

(a) an amount equal to the tax due taking into account inward and outward supplies of goods or services or both, input tax credit availed, tax payable and such other particulars during a month; or<\/p>\n

(b) in lieu of the amount referred to in clause (a), an amount determined in such manner and subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed..<\/p>\n

Clause 104 seeks to amend the proviso to said sub-section (9) so as to provide for thirtieth day of November following the end of the financial year, or the date of furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier, as the last date for the rectification of errors in the return furnished under section 39.<\/p>\n

Currently, the last date for rectification of any error or omission for any financial year has been provided as the due date of filing September return of the next financial year i.e. 20th October in case of monthly return filers and 22nd \/ 24th October in case of quarterly return filers. <\/p>\n

This date is now being modified to 30th November. In effect, the last return within which the rectification will be allowed be October GSTR-3B to be filed within 30th November (assuming the returns are filed within the due date). <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

In the GST law, it would be provided that furnishing of GSTR-3B for a particular period would not be allowed if the return for any of the previous tax periods or the details of outward supplies under sub-section (1) of section 37 for the said tax period has not been furnished by him. <\/p>\n

Provided that where the said supplier makes payment of the tax payable in respect of the aforesaid supplies, the said registered person may re-avail the amount of credit reversed by him in such manner as may be prescribed.”<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 105 seeks to substitute a new section for section 41 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act so as to do away with the concept of “claim” of eligible input tax credit on a “provisional” basis and to provide for availment of self-assessed input tax credit subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

First, Change in heading. Earlier read as “Claim of Input Tax Credit and Provisional Acceptance thereof”. Now it is proposed to be read as “Availment of Input Tax Credit”.<\/p>\n

ITC which was earlier provisionally taken as self-assessment is now no more to be considered as a provisional credit. Availment in the electronic credit ledger would be considered as final credit itself. <\/p>\n

If the tax has not been paid by the supplier, the recipient would be liable to reverse his input tax credit along with interest in such manner as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

When the said payment is made by the supplier on a later date, the recipient would be able to re-avail the credit in the prescribed manner.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Currently, Rule 86B provides for such restriction of utilization from electronic credit ledger only upto 99% of output taxes for certain taxpayers. This may also be the enabling provisions for providing further restrictions in the utilization of balance in the electronic credit ledger.<\/p>\n

Proposed Amendment Provisions:<\/u><\/b> <\/u><\/p>\n

(3) Where the input tax credit has been wrongly availed and utilised, the registered person shall pay interest on such input tax credit wrongly availed and utilised, at such rate not exceeding twenty-four per cent, as may be notified by the Government, on the recommendations of the Council, and the interest shall be calculated, in such manner as may be prescribed.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Clause 110 seeks to substitute a new sub-section for sub-section (3) of section 50 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, retrospectively, with effect from the 1st July, 2017, so as to provide for levy of interest on input tax credit wrongly availed and utilised, and to provide for prescribing manner of calculation of interest in such cases.<\/p>\n

This is retrospective amendment w.e.f. 01.07.2017proposed by Finance Bill, 2022 and a welcome move.<\/p>\n

Currently, Section 50(3) provides for interest in case of excess claim of ITC or reduction of output tax liability which arises subject to the two way communication process of matching through GSTR 1, 1A, 2 and 2A (section 42 and 43). <\/p>\n

Now, interest would be applicable only upon ITC wrongly availed and utilized due to any reason and not only due to the matching concept. <\/p>\n

Further, Interest rate under Section 50(3) of CGST Act, 2017 as per Notification No. 13\/2017-Central Tax dated 28th June 2017 is currently 24%. Now, it is proposed to get the interest rate down to 18% with retrospective effect.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Clause 111 seeks to amend proviso to sub-section (6) of section 52 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act so as to provide for thirtieth day of November following the end of the financial year, or the date of furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier, as the last date upto which the rectification of errors shall be allowed in the statement furnished under sub-section (4).<\/p>\n

For E-commerce operators who are required to collect TCS and are filing GSTR-8, the last date for rectification of any error or omission for any financial year has been provided as the due date of filing September return of the next financial year. This date is now being modified to 30th November following the end of the financial year or the actual date of furnishing of the relevant annual statement, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n

It is proposed that refund of any balance in electronic cash ledger cannot be claimed in GSTR-3B. The said refund shall be claimed in such form and manner as would be prescribed. It should be noted that currently there is no mechanism to claim refund of electronic cash ledger via GSTR-3B, hence making it a redundant provision in the Act.<\/p>\n
