Sir,
When we apply for refund U/s 54(3), the refund amount is automatically reversed in electronic credit ledger , which again depends on balance available as on date(I.e the balance on date when refund is filed)and not the date on which export is done/gaye 3b is filed.
Sir, now from your question I interpretate that you will export zero rated and claim ITC refund, by keeping in ecl the amount of refund (as per formula). In this case I would request you to please evaluate the option of paying igst (by input tax reversal) and claim refund, as this is lea

By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal
Goods and Services Tax – GST

Advance rulings are important in any tax law as it provides a forum for clarification and possible interpretation of statutory provisions. Moreover, it conveys the legislative intention from the revenue's view point. Provisions of advance ruling are contained in section 95 to 106 of CGST Act, 2017 and State / UT GST enactment. Rules 103 to 107 of also provide for forms, manner, certification etc.

uch supply of works contract involved only a minor fraction of earth work and therefore, such composite supply of works contract service for maintaining railway tracks would be taxable at the rate of 18% GST. Further, such service could be classifiable under Heading No. 995429 under GST. [In Re Sreepati Ranjan Gope & Sons (2018) 5 TMI 370 (AAR-West Bengal); ]
Advance Ruling on liquidated damages
In the instant case, based on agreement entered into by applicant, Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Ltd. with BHEL for purpose of erection, testing and commissioning of main plant package, there were no such clauses in agreement as would tantamount to reducing contract price or contract value of supplies of goods or services or both as made by Contractor on account of delay in delivery of manufactured goods. In fact, levy of liquidated damages had been specifically identified as an independent levy. The contract price variation clause in impugned agreement did not provide for variat

licability of GST on freight bills.
Applicant argued that it is not a goods transport agency (GTA) for applicability of Notification No. 9/2017 – IT (Rate) dated 28/06/2017, which, granted exemption on transportation services provided by an entity other than GTA. As applicant is not a GTA, supply of transportation services is exempt from GST vide the exemption notification.
It has been ruled that the applicant supplies works contract service, of which freight and transportation is merely a component of overall services and not a separate and independent activity and GST is to be paid @ 18% on the entire value of the composite supply, including supply of materials, freight and transportation, erection, commissioning etc.
It was also held that reference to a notification under the IGST Act should be contract specific, where an inter-state supply is taking place. In this application general nature of a supply is being dealt with rather than the place of any particular supply. Moreover,

Per Bench
The appellants are engaged in manufacture of PVC insulated cables and are registered with the Central Excise Department. It was alleged that the appellants have collected separately, in addition to the price of the goods sold, Inspection Charges, Service charges and Freight Charges from their buyers through debit notes. According to the department, these amounts have to be included in the assessable value for discharging the excise duty. As the appellant did not include these amounts in the transaction value and did not pay duty on su

Appeals) has excluded the railway freight. These are service charges which are not relatable to 'sale' effected by the appellant to the contractors on whose behalf the railway transport is arranged. Once the appellants have dispatched the goods from their end, that is the place of removal, which is the factory, contract terms are completed. In other words, the title to the goods is passed on to the contractor and the subsequent transport of goods is only at the instance of the contractor as it can be seen from one of the contracts that the consignee has been indicated as OS, S&T Stores, Projects, Boiguda, South Central Railway, Secunderabad. The appellants have rendered such services only as per the instructions of the contractor. Therefore, the said amount cannot be included in the assessable value.
3. The ld. AR Shri S. Govindarajan supported the findings in the impugned order. With respect to service charges, he submitted that the appellant has raised debit notes for collection of

o transport arrangement through rail. These charges have been paid to M/s. ARR Cargo Movers towards making arrangements for the transport of goods through railway. It can be seen that these are in connection with the loading / cargo handling of the goods for transportation by railway. The Commissioner (Appeals) has held that the freight charges are not includible in the assessable value since the said charges are collected after the place of removal which is the factory gate. On the very basis, it can be definitely held that the service charges collected for cargo handling on the instruction of the contractor cannot be included in the assessable value.
6. From the above discussion, we hold that the demand raised alleging that the service charges as well as pre-delivery inspection charges are includible in the assessable value cannot sustain and requires to be set aside, which we hereby do. The impugned order is set aside and the appeal is allowed with consequential relief, if any.

The Applicant is not providing residential or lodging accommodation services therefore rate of GST on food & drinks served by the Applicant is covered under the clause mentioned above. Therefore the Applicant is charging GST @5% on supply of food, drinks and & snacks from Food Court and Snack bar of Multiplex.

ovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services or both are used in the course of furtherance of business.
Explanation: For the purpose of clause (c) and (d), the expression “construction includes re-construction renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent of capitalization, to the said immovable property;”
The inward supply of goods and services as mentioned in the questions 2 and 3, is for the purpose of maintenance & renovation of building and it is not capitalized in the books of accounts. These expenses are revenue in nature and hence full ITC can be claimed.
4 QUESTIONS RAISED BEFORE THE AUTHORITY:
The following questions have been posed before the Authority, with reference to the activity undertaken by the Applicant:
4.1 Whether GST @5% can be charged on food, soft drinks, and snacks sold in the Snack Bar & Food Court in terms of Notification no.46/2017;
4.2 Whether ITC of GST paid on Movie Distri

t in terms of Notification no.46/2017?
It has been opined by the CGST department that in terms of relevant entry in the notification no.46/2017, the supply of food, drinks & snacks etc. Served by the Applicant at their own Mall, without providing lodging and accommodation services, shall attract GST @5% and no Input Tax Credit shall be available to the Applicant.
5.2 Whether ITC of GST paid on Movie Distributor Revenue Share Bill, Projector Rental Bill, Advertisement Bill, Security Agency Bill and Housekeeping Bill can be claimed in full?
It has been opined that in view of the facts and circumstances about the output services being provided by the Applicant through their four Divisions, Viz. Multiplex Division, Renting Division, Maintenance Division and Food Court, it appears that ITC on aforementioned Input Services would be admissible to the Applicant because the said input supply of services appear attributable towards their outward supply of services for furtherance of their bus

in respect of the following, namely:
(a)…………

(c) works contract services when supplied for construction of an immovable property (other than plant and machinery) except where it is an input service for further supply of works contract service;
(d) goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including when such goods or services or both are used in the course or furtherance of business.
Explanation.For the purposes of clauses (c) and (d), the expression “construction” includes re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent of capitalisation, to the said immovable property;
Thus, it is clear from clause (d) above, that no ITC shall be admissible to the Applicant in respect of goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction/maintenance of an immovable property. In the instant case, the applicant h

pplicant is not availing such ITC for providing output works contract service, therefore it appears that the applicant is not entitled to avail ITC and any ITC so availed needs to be reversed by the Applicant.

Shri Shree Nikhilesh Mlshra, DGM and Shree Vishal Shreevastav, Tax Consultant, appeared on behalf of the applicant and reiterated the submissions already made in the application. Subsequent to PH, the Applicant also submitted additional write-up on 09.07.2018 giving further details in furtherance of their extant application. The same are briefed as under:

these questions one by one to arrive at conclusion.
7.3 The first question reads, “Whether GST @5% can be charged on food, soft drinks, and snacks sold in the Snack Bar & Food Court in terms of Notification no.46/2017- Central Tax (Rate)?'. On a careful consideration of the legal position under the GST law, we find that the Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 further amended by Notification No.46/2017-Central Tax (Rate) vide entry at Serial Number 7 and corresponding notifications issued under MPGST ACT ,2017, squarely covers the services provided by the Applicant at item no.(i) which reads:
'Supply, by way of or as part of any service or in any other manner whatsoever, of goods, being food or any other article for human consumption or drink, where such supply or service is for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration, provided by a restaurant, eating joint including mess, canteen, whether for consumption on or away from the premises wh

utdoor Catering. The term 'Outdoor Catering' was defined under Section 65(76)(a) of the erstwhile Finance Act 1994 as “Outdoor caterer means a caterer engaged in providing service in connection with catering at place other than his own but including a place provided by way of tenancy or otherwise by the person receiving such service”. On considering the common parlance meaning of 'Outdoor Catering' and its above definition for Service Tax, we come to the conclusion that the supply of food, soft drinks and snacks sold in the Food Court or Snack Bar of the Applicant cannot by any stretch of imagination, be treated as a part of outdoor catering. In view of the facts and circumstances, we are of the view that the services provided by the Applicant in Snack Bar would be classifiable under SAC 9963 and chargeable to GST @ 5% (CGST @2.5% + SGST @2.5%), provided they fulfill the conditions laid down under Notification 46/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and corresponding notifications i

roviding exempted supplies shall be subject to reversal in terms of Section 17(1) of the GST Act, 2017. To illustrate, Security Services and Housekeeping in particular shall be utilized for Snacks Bar and Food Court also and hence ITC on such services would be available partially in terms of provisions of Section 17(1) of the GST Act, 2017.
7.5 Now moving on to the third question posed before the Authority, we observe that the question is; 'Whether ITC on GST paid on goods purchased for the purpose of maintenance such as Vitrified Tiles, Marble, Granite ACP Sheets, Steel Plates, TMT TOR, Bricks, Cement, Paint, Chemicals, Sanitary items like wash basin, urinal pots, and toilet accessories can be claimed in full?'.
The Applicant has been purchasing the materials under question for the purpose of utilising the same in maintenance/renovation of the Mall building. Broadly speaking, the extant law i.e. the GST Act 2017 prohibits such ITC in terms of clause (d) of Section 17(5) whic

. Explanation to the sub-section (5) has defined the term 'Construction' to encompass all the activities '…….to the extent of capitalization to the said immovable property.' Going by the said definition it has been argued that ITC of materials used for maintenance can be claimed in full if the cost of maintenance is not capitalized. We find that capitalization of expenditure depends on the nature of expenditure and the period of benefit from such expenditure. However, the Application falls pretty short in elucidating the nature of expenditure i.e. capital or revenue. Thus we are constrained to reach any definitive conclusion on this argument. Mere statement that expenditure is not capitalized cannot come to the rescue of Applicant. Be that as it may, the eligibility of ITC does not depend on the treatment given to the expenditure. If the expenditure is revenue in nature but subsequently capitalized in the books of account it would not make Applicant eligible to ITC on s

of Section 16 and sub-section (1) of Section 18, Input tax credit shall not be available in respect of the following, namely:
(a)…………….
(b)…………….
(c) works contract service when supplied for construction of an immovable property (other than plant and machinery) except where it is an input service for further supply of works contract service,
Thus we do not find anything for us to discuss and deliberate on this issue. It is admittedly clear that Works Contract Service which the Applicant intends to engage is for the civil work etc. for repair/renovation/maintenance of Mall building. Such service is fully consumed at the end of Applicant and it is not an input service for further provision of output service as Works Contract. That being the case, we have no hitch in concluding that ITC in respect of Works Contract Service utilised by the Applicant for repair/renovation/maintenance of Mall building shall not be available to them.

carry out only blasting at the site only; that client is not qualified person to possess explosives and thus it is clear that applicant has not transferred title to goods used in blasting activity to its client and therefore the applicant has the view that blasting activity carried out by it shall be treated as 'supply of service'.
1.4 On the basis of above facts and submissions, the applicant has sought ruling on following question-
(i) Whether the blasting activity carried out by the applicant is to be considered as a 'supply of goods' or 'supply of service' ?
2. We have heard Shri Brijen Mehta, Chartered Accountant, for the appellant on 18.01.2018. We have considered the submissions made by the applicant in their application for advance ruling and submissions made at the time of personal hearing. We have also considered the comments on the application offered by the department vide letter F.No. IV/16-64/Tech/2017-18 dated 18.01.2018.

Therefore, Schedule II is not the exhaustive condition for the scope of supply as defined under Section 7.
4. In the present case applicant uses explosives in the blasting activity at their client's site. Thus it would be evident that blasting activity is carried out by the applicant for their client for which the applicant uses explosives. The applicant carries out blasting work with the aid of explosives. Thus, there is deemed supply of explosives in this case in view of the judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Bharat Pest C

ORDER
Per Bench
The issue involved in both these appeals being same, they were heard together and are disposed by this common order.
2. The appellants are engaged in the manufacture of mosquito repellent coil and are registered with the Central Excise Department. They are availing CENVAT credit on inputs, capital goods and input services used in the manufacture of the finished goods and also on the input services distributed by their Head Office as Input Serv

units availing area based exemption were distributed to the appellant unit at Puducherry which according to department is not eligible as it is contravention of the provisions of Rule 2(l) r/w third proviso to Rule 3(4) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. The second issue is that the credit of service tax availed on membership fee for membership in Bombay Gymkhana Club Ltd. is not an input service as defined under Rule 2(l) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 and therefore not eligible. Show cause notice dated 8.12.2011 was issued raising both these allegations. Later, show cause notice dated 18.10.2012 was raised alleging violation of credit distributed on ISD invoices as narrated above. After due process of law, the adjudicating authority confirmed the demand along with interest and also imposed penalties. Hence the appellants are now before this Tribunal.
3. On behalf of the appellant, ld. counsel Shri Raghavan Ramabhadran appeared and argued the matter. He submitted that the units located in

he credit has been distributed by the head office as per Rule 7 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. The said Rule does not provide for any pro-rata distribution prior to 1.4.2012. During the disputed period, which is from December 2006 to March 2011, Rule 7 did not provide for pro-rata distribution of credit and whatever credit availed by the units availing area based exemption and distributed to other units is correct and proper. He drew support from the decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. ECOF Industries P. Ltd. – 2011 (277) ELT 317 (Kar.) to argue that Rule 7 does not provide any pro-rata distribution prior to 1.4.2012.
3.1 With regard to the issue of credit availed on membership fee for Bombay Gymkhana club, ld. counsel submitted that the same is availed for the activities of business of the company and therefore eligible.

there was no restriction as to how much credit can be distributed to each unit. During the relevant period, Rule 7 did not lay down any manner of distribution based on pro-rata basis. The said proviso under Rule 7, during the disputed period read as under:-
RULE 7. Manner of distribution of credit by input service distributor. – The input service distributor shall distribute the CENVAT credit in respect of the service tax paid on the input service to its manufacturing units or units providing output service, subject to the following conditions, namely:-
(a) the credit distributed against a document referred to in rule 9 does not exceed the amount of service tax paid thereon; or
(b) credit of service tax attributable to service use in a unit exclusively engaged in manufacture of exempted goods or providing of exempted services shall not be distributed.”
6.1 Only with effect from 1.4.2012, Rule 7 has been amended to include that the distribution of credit shall be on pro-rata basis.

KRISHI KALYAN CESS: ITC IN GST NOT ALLOWED
By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 25-8-2018

Under section 16 the GST law, during the transition from pre-GST regime to GST regime w.e.f. 1.7.2017, earlier tax credits are allowed to be carried forward in GST regime and benefit could be availed subject to transitional provisions as contained in section 140 of the GST law.
While there are doubts amongst taxpayers as to whether Cenvat Credit of Cesses (e.g., Krishi Kalyan Cess, Swachh Bharat Cess etc) paid under pre-GST regime would be allowed to be carried forward and availed in the GST regime like other taxes or duties, assessees have resorted to advance ruling under section 97 of the GST law from Authority of Advance Rulings (AAR) constituted under section 96 of the said law.
The background of this case is that KKC was levied as per section 161 of the Finance Act, 2016. Section 161(5) of the Finance Act specified that for levy and collection of KK

sible under the Act. Cenvat Credit Rules has recognized KKC as Cenvat credit and Section 16 and Section 17 of the Act, which determines admissibility of input tax credit puts no restriction in admission of KKC as Cenvat credit under the aforesaid provision of the Act.
According to one such advance ruling in the matter of Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd. (2018) 12 GSTL 526 (AAR-Maharashtra); (2018) 5 TMI 458 (AAR-Maharashtra); in the pre-GST regime, the assessee was registered as Input Service Distributor (ISD) for its Head Office to distribute eligible credit to its respective manufacturing units. The assessee wanted to carry forward the accumulated credit of Krishi Kalyan Cess (KKC)appeared in service tax return on June 30, 2017 to the electronic credit ledger under the GST Act. In the post-GST regime, neither there is specific restriction in law regarding admissibility of KKC nor there is any specific provision regarding admissibility of KKC as input tax credit.

August 7th Tuesday, the Lok Sabha passed 4 new bills in an attempt to GST procedures with a focus on empowering the MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) sector. The government is also targeting to plug loopholes in existing laws and lightening ROC compliances requirements described as 'complex' by many a business owners. The new return filing system is expected to be put in place by the revenue department by January 2019 and would actively replace the current GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 returns.
In addition to these, an attempt has been made for the empowerment of digital payments such as UPI with incentives via cashback offers. The Lok Sabha also facilitated changes in GST return filing forms and also helping in reducing the frequency of return filings for businesses. The bills passed by the Lok Sabha are

* Reducing Confusion among Taxpayers
The government plans to introduce a modular approach in which the aim is to introduce many business types into a simple form. Various modules in one common return will facilitate the filing process for eg. One for traders and one for exporters. The one form approach will help taxpayers pick and choose their type of business module and go to a section which remains relevant to other traders. According to the finance minister “This kind of a modular approach will help significantly in improving the compliance process too”.

o automatic reversal of credit
In the case of non-payment of tax by the seller, automatic reversal of input tax credit from buyer has been prohibited. Options have been put in place to make recovery of defaults in payment of tax by the retailer. In addition to this, however, special provisions have been made to address exceptional situations like the closure of Business, missing dealer or supplier lacking assets to return due payment.
7. Process for recovery and reversal
Issuing of notice and order will be done in an online and automated process to reduce the human interface.
8. Supplier Side Control
Sellers who have defaulted in payment of taxes above a certain threshold will be blocked from raising invoices to avoid misuse of input tax credit facility. Safeguards like these will be deployed for new dealers as well as addition, analytical tools would be employed to prevent loss of revenue.

y is liable to bear the cost of transportation of goods, from the respective country upto Indian ports. Hence, for the transportation of the goods, the supplier/ exporter avails the services of a foreign shipping company, for bringing the said goods to India in a vessel.
The services by the foreign shipping entity of transportation of goods in a vessel to a port in India is an 'inter-state supply' in terms of section 7 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as 'IGST Act'). Hence, IGST is leviable on the same under Section 5 of the IGST Act. As per the charging section i.e. Section 5, IGST has to be paid by the taxable person.

to 01.07.2017, the government was empowered to notify the category of services on which tax was payable on reverse charge basis by the recipient of services or any other person. To this extent the provisions of the service tax regime differ from the current GST regime. In order to collect tax on the services of transportation of goods by vessels upto a port in India, the government notified the importer (i.e. person other than the service provider or service recipient) as the person liable to pay tax. Since, the same was within the legislative competence of the Central Government, the same was intra-vires the provisions of the Finance Act, 1994 but the same is not the case with GST as the statute specifically provides for service recipient only.

Customs Act, 1962(52 of 1962), located in the taxable territory.
Thus, as per the Notification No. 10/2017- Integrated Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017, in the case of import of goods on CIF (COST, INSURANCE AND FREIGHT) basis, the Applicant (Importer) is liable to pay GST on the component of Ocean freight paid by the foreign supplier to the shipping company.

valuation of imported goods is to be done by the Customs Authority under the Customs Act, 1962 and this authority is not empowered to decide on the issue of valuation of imported goods. Therefore, this authority cannot give any findings regarding exclusion of any component of expenditure upon imported goods (Ocean freight) while determining the value of imported goods at the time of import.
The question raised by the applicant is regarding the determination of valuation of imported goods at the port. The issue regarding determination of value as sought by the applicant does not fall under the purview of CGST/RGST Act, 2017 as this issue should be correctly dealt as per the relevant provisions of the Customs Act, 1962.

COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF INVOICE PROVISION UNDER GST LAW
By: – Sandeep Rawat
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 24-8-2018

Generally speaking, an invoice is a commercial instrument issued by a seller to a buyer. It identifies both the trading parties, and lists, describes, and quantifies the items sold, shows the date of shipment and mode of transport, prices and discounts, if any, and the delivery and payment terms.
In certain cases, (especially when it is signed by the seller or seller's agent), an invoice serves as a demand for payment and becomes a document of title when paid in full. Types of invoices include:
Invoice under GST
Under the GST regime, an “invoice” or “tax invoice” means the tax invoice referred to in section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017. This section mandates the issuance of an invoice or a bill of supply for every supply of goods or services.
It is not necessary that only a person supplying goods or services needs to issue an invoice. The GST law ma

x invoice under GST
Under GST, a tax invoice is an important document. It not only evidences the supply of goods or services, but is also an essential document for the recipient to avail Input Tax Credit (ITC). A registered person cannot avail Input Tax Credit unless he is in possession of a tax invoice or a debit note.
GST is chargeable at the time of supply. Invoice is an important indicator of the time of supply. Broadly speaking, the time of supply of goods or services is the date of issuance of an invoice or receipt of payment, whichever is earlier.
Thus the importance of an invoice under GST cannot be over-emphasised. Suffice it to say, the tax invoice is the primary document evidencing the supply and vital for availing Input Tax Credit.
When should a tax invoice or a bill of supply be issued by a registered person Goods
The time for issuing an invoice would depend on the nature of supply viz. whether it is a supply of goods or services. A registered person supplying tax

e. Name and address of the recipient and the address of delivery, along with the name of State and its code, if such recipient is un-registered and where the value of taxable supply is fifty thousand rupees or more

esentative
Services
A registered person supplying taxable services shall, before or after the provision of service but within a prescribed period, issue a tax invoice, showing the description, value, tax charged thereon and such other particulars as prescribed in the Invoice Rules.
The Government may, on the recommendations of the Council, by notification and subject to such conditions as may be mentioned therein, specify the categories of services in respect of which:
* Any other document issued in relation to the supply shall be deemed to be a tax invoice; or
Tax invoice may not be issued.
Thus, it can be seen that in case of goods, an invoice has to be issued before or at the time of supply. In case of services, however, an invoice has to be issued before or after the provision of services. If the invoice is issued after the provision of service, it has to be done within the specified period of 30 days from the date of supply of service, as per invoice rules.

Receipt Voucher/Refund voucher on receipt of advance payment
Whenever a registered person receives an advance payment with respect to any supply of goods or services or both, he has to issue a receipt voucher or any other document, containing such particulars as prescribed in the Invoice Rules, evidencing the receipt of such payment.
Where any such receipt voucher is issued, but subsequently no supply is made and no tax invoice is issued, the registered person who has received the advance payment can issue a refund voucher against such payment.
A receipt voucher needs to contain the following particulars:
* Name, address and GSTIN of the supplier
A consecutive serial number containing alphabets or numerals or special characters like hyphen or dash and slash symbolised as “-” and “/” respectively, and any combination thereof, unique for a financial year

In case of continuous supply of services, where:
* The due date of payment is as certainable from the contract, the invoice shall be issued on or before the due date of payment.

A registered person who issues such a credit note has to declare details of such credit note in the return for the month during which such credit note has been issued but not later than September following the end of the financial year in which such supply was made or the date of furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. The tax liability of the registered person will be adjusted in accordance with the credit note issued, however no reduction in output tax liability of the supplier shall be permitted, if the incidence of tax and interest on such supply has been passed on to any other person.
In cases where tax invoice has been issued for a supply and subsequently it is found that the value or tax charged in that invoice is less than what is actually payable/chargeable, the supplier can issue a debit note to the recipient.

Certain doubts have been raised regarding the applicability and intent of notification No. 20/2018-Central Tax (Rate) dated 26th July, 2018 (which seeks to amend notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017) relating to the provision for lapsing of input tax credit accumulated on account of inverted duty structure on fabrics for the period up

3. In the 28th GST Council meeting, it was decided to remove the restriction of not allowing refund of ITC accumulated on account of inverted duty structure on fabrics with prospective effect on the input supplies received after the date of issue of notification. It was also decided to simultaneously lapse the accumulated ITC, lying unutilised, for the past period, after the payment of GST for the month of July, 2018. Accordingly, to give effect to this decision, the notification No. 20/2018-Central Tax (Rate) has been issued amending notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax(Rate). To keep the accounting simple, it was decided to make these changes effective from the 1s

d capital goods shall also be disallowed?
(3) Implication to fabrics like cotton and silk where there was no inverted duty structure?
(4) Whether accumulated ITC in respect of exports shall also be made to lapse?
6. The matter has been examined. Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides for refund of accumulated credit on inputs on account of inverted duty structure, i.e., GST rate on inputs being higher than the GST rates on finished goods. However, proviso (ii) to section 54 (3) provides that in respect of notified goods, the refund of such accumulated input tax credit shall not be allowed. Notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (Rate) has been issued in terms of this provision and it interalia prescribes that refund of accumulated ITC on account of inverted duty structure shall not be allowed in respect of fabrics as mentioned in para 2. Therefore, the restriction of refund of accumulated ITC under notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (rate) dated 28.06.2017 is applicable only in res

f inverted duty structure lying in balance after payment of GST for the month of July (on purchases made on or before the 31st July, 2018) shall lapse.
8 As the notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (Rate) does not put any restriction in respect of ITC on input services and capital goods, therefore the proviso now inserted in the said notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (Rate) vide notification No. 20/2018 does not affect the ITC availed on input services and capital goods.
9. As regards, the legislative power of providing for lapsing of input tax credit, the same flows inherently from the power to deny refund of accumulated ITC on account of inverted structure.
10. Doubts have also been raised as regards the manner of calculating the ITC amount accumulated on account of inverted duty structure on the inputs of said fabrics that would lapse on account of above stated change. It is clarified that for determination of such amount, the formula as prescribed in rule 89 (5) of the CGST rul

= = = = = = = =

in rule 89 (5), the accumulated ITC on account of inverted duty structure comes to ₹ 5 lakh. In other words, this manufacturer has accumulated ₹ 5 lakh on inputs on account of inverted duty structure during the said period. If ITC balance lying unutilized with him is more than this amount, say ₹ 10 lakh, the ITC equal to ₹ 5 lakh will only lapse. However, if for any reason, the ITC balance lying unutilized is less than ₹ 5 lakh, say ₹ 3 lakh, the ITC equal to ₹ 3 lakh will lapse.
(2) A manufacture who produces, say, grey manmade fibre fabrics and cotton fabrics, had a turnover of ₹ 5 crore and 2 crore respectively for manmade fabrics and cotton fabrics for the months from July, 2017 to July 2018 [or for the relevant period for fabrics on which refund was blocked subsequently by inserting entries in notification No. 5/2017-Central Tax (Rate)]. Tax payable thereon is ₹ 25 lakh on MMF fabrics and ₹ 10 lakh on cotton fabrics. MMF

relating thereto shall also lapse and concern has been expressed that this would amount to double taxation. It is clarified that the proposed amendment seeks to lapse only such credit that has been accumulated on inputs on account of inverted duty structure. Therefore, in case a manufacturer, whose accumulated ITC is liable to lapse in terms of said notification, has certain stock lying in balance as on 31.7.2018, the input tax credit involved in inputs contained in such stock ( including inputs lying as such) may be excluded for determination of Net ITC for the purposes of applying the said formula. For this purpose, the ITC relating to inputs contained in stock may be determined in the manner as provided in S. No. 7 of Form GST ITC-01.
12. As regards the applicability of said proviso to cotton, silk and other natural fibre fabrics, which do not suffer inverted duty structure, this is clarified that the said condition of lapsing of ITC would apply only if input tax credit on inputs
