Navigate to the &#8216;Services&#8217; option followed by the &#8216;Return&#8217; and &#8216;ITC Form&#8217; options in the drop-down list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Click \u2018Prepare Online\u2019 on the GST ITC-01 box and choose the appropriate option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Enter the details to create the invoice like GSTIN, invoice number, date and item details like goods type, description of inputs, unit quantity code, quantity, value and ITC amount claimed before you click on &#8216;save&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: Preview the entered details and click \u2018Submit&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: You will receive a pop-up alert. Click on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6: Enter the information related to the Chartered Accountant like name, date of certificate issuance, membership number and other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 7: Select the declaration checkbox followed by the authorised signatory from the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 8: The redirected page will show two options; one to proceed with a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) or to proceed with Electronic Verification Code (EVC). For the former, you need to choose the certificate while for the latter you need to insert the OTP that you receive before you proceed to the final stage of completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 9: You will receive the Acknowledgement Reference Number (ARN) which you can use to track your claim status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reversing Input Tax Credit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain situations that prompt reversal of input tax credit on inputs. Here are the situations when there is an ITC reversal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Non-Payment of Invoice Within 180 Days: <\/strong>If the invoice remains unpaid within 180 days of issuance of invoice, ITC will be reversed as per invoice rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credit Note Issued by Seller to Input Service Distributor: <\/strong>If a seller issues a credit note to an Input Service Distributor, there will be a reversal of ITC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inputs Partly Used for Personal Use: <\/strong>If inputs are partly used for businesses and partly for personal use or any other non-business activities, ITC for the part utilised for personal use will be reversed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Capital Goods Partially Used for Non-Business Purposes and As Exempt Supplies: <\/strong>If you use capital goods for personal use or as exempt supplies, the part that you use for non-business purposes will exhibit a reversal of input tax credit. Thus, you have to bear the cost of capital goods used for personal use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ITC Reversed Is Less Than Required: <\/strong>If the ITC on exempt supplies or goods used for non-business purposes is more than the ITC reversed during the financial year, the difference will add up to your output liability. Further, it will attract interest and you can calculate it after furnishing or filing of return (annual return).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) after 180 days (Amendment) - Conditions for ITC\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XsLw66lnipw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ITC Reconciliation Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ITC that you claim should match the details that the supplier specifies in his or her GST return. In the case of any mismatch, the GST authorities notify both parties for reconciliation. You can reconcile your ITC claims using a GST return form in case of any mismatch in declarations between the purchaser and the supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Afterword<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you already know <strong>how to calculate ITC in GST, <\/strong>you can seamlessly perform calculations for a hassle-free process. Estimating your ITC claim amount beforehand can help reduce your tax liability on outputs. Thus, you can make a lower payment of output tax. Payment of taxes on time can further help you optimise ITC on purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, ensure you attentively consider parameters like inputs used for non-business purposes to achieve accurate results.

It helps avoid the cascading effect of taxes and ensures that tax is paid only on the value added at each stage of the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1723026957054\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the new rule of ITC in GST?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The new rule for ITC under GST, effective from January 2022, restricts the claim of ITC to the amount that is reflected in the GSTR-2B form. This means taxpayers can no longer claim provisional ITC and must reconcile their ITC claims with the actual data provided by suppliers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1723026966826\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How to GST calculate?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Determine the taxable value of the goods or services.<br \/>Apply the applicable GST rate (e.g., 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%) to the taxable value.<br \/>Use the formula: <strong>GST Amount = (Taxable Value) x (GST Rate)<\/strong>.<br \/>The total price with GST = <strong>Taxable Value + GST Amount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1723026983239\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the 99% ITC rule in GST?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The 99% ITC rule in GST mandates that businesses can utilize up to 99% of their available ITC to discharge their GST liabilities. The remaining 1% must be paid using cash unless certain conditions are met, such as the taxpayer having a turnover above \u20b950 lakhs, paying significant income tax in the previous financial year, or the registered person being a government entity or PSU.
