Q. How should I show ineligible ITC in GSTR-3B?
A. Ineligible ITC should be deducted from total ITC to be claimed under “All other ITC” (Table 4(A5)) and it should be added in the head “Ineligible ITC” (Table 4(D1)) of GSTR-3B.

Q. How should I show ineligible ITC in books of accounts?
A: It is suggested that ineligible ITC should be expensed out in books of accounts along with its taxable value so that benefit of the same can be claimed in Income tax act.

Q. I have mistakenly claimed ineligible ITC in FY 2018-19. How should I adjust the same?
A: For FY 2018-19, GST return of September 2019 was last month for all adjustments and rectifications. It is suggested that you should reverse wrongly claimed ITC in Form DRC-03 along with applicable interest thereon and it is suggested to report correct ITC in annual return of FY 2018-19.

Q. I have paid ITC on purchase of goods to be used for both personal as well as business purposes? How should I reverse the ITC?
A: It is suggested to identify proportion of personal usage of goods.  For example, 60% goods are used for business purpose and 40% goods are used for personal use then it is suggested to claim 60% ITC and if full amount of ITC has already been claimed then you should reverse 40% ITC along with applicable interest thereon.

Q. I have received repair and maintenance services of office building.  Should I claim ITC on the same?
A: If the amount of repair and maintenance has been capitalized in books of accounts then it will be considered as Ineligible ITC.  If you claim it as an expense in profit and loss account, then you can claim ITC on the same.
