Important changes in GSTR 3B to hit on portal from 01-09-2022?
a) ITC in GSTR 2B for a tax period not claimable due to receipt of goods in next period or goods not received at all or because supplier has failed to pay tax:?
I. To be claimed first in Table 4A(5) of GSTR 3B

f) ITC reversed under Rule 42 and 43 because of partial exempt supplies, if reversed by making entry in 4B(1)?in excess may require reclaim in Table 4A(5) because of Rule 42, however no row has been kept in table 4D for reclamation of such ITC. Advisory issued by GSTN says that ITC reversed in 4B(1) is not reclaimable, however Rule 42 perceives the restoration of excess reversal.
g) Similarly if ITC blocked in 17(5) and reversed in 4B(1) is subsequently found to be eligible, though may be reclaimed in 4A(5) but there is no row in 4D to reflect such reclaim. Advisory of GSTN says that ITC reversed in 4B(1) is not reclaimable.
h) Reclaimable reversals for failure to pay suppliers with in 180 days may be parked in 4B(2). Reclamation at the time of payment through 4A(5) shall be supplemented by disclosure in 4D(1)
i) Lapse of ITC on opting for composition scheme or when taxable goods become exempt shall be parked in 4B(2).
j) Reversal of ITC on inputs and capital goods held in stock on the date of cancellation of registration may also be effected through 4B(2)
k) Supplies of restaurants, hotels, motorcabs etc., housekeeping through e commerce operator to be shown in table 3.1.1(ii) of GSTR 3B. Earlier Point 11 of Circular 167/23/2021 dated 17-12-2021 had required to reflect such supplies in table 3.1 (c) of GSTR 3B for the time being So, treatment as per Circular 167 was only adhoc treatment.?
?
Note:?
1. 3.1(c) of GSTR 3B is for nil rated, exempted supply. Now corresponding to that entry, supplies could be shown in Table 8 of GSTR-1 by restaurants etc. But after changes in GSTR 3B, these supplies should not be shown in GSTR-1 (*in opinion of author*) because there is no corresponding change in GSTR-1 and thus if still such supplies are shown in table 8 of GSTR-1, there shall be mismatch in supplies. Treatment of such supplies in GSTR- 9 also has not been laid down.?This non synchronisation shall result is mismatch of respective statements with Profit and loss as per financial accounts.
2. Concept of non reclaimable ITC to be parked in 4B(1) and reclaimable ITC to be parked in 4B(2) laid down by GSTN advisory is not only in contradiction with law but also contradicted in the advisory itself. Generalization has been made without resort to legal provisions.?
The above changes are available on portal since 01-09-2022 and ITC to be reported as per new format for the period August 2022 onwards.?
