The SCN is attached herewith as Annexure 1.
In this regard, we wish to submit the following in our response to the SCN issued by your goodself:
1. ABCD has claimed ITC in GSTR-3B basis the tax invoices issued to the Company for the inward supplies received from the Suppliers (pertaining to the relevant period). Further, the Company has satisfied all the conditions prescribed for claiming ITC as per the GST legislation. Invoice wise detail of ITC claimed in GSTR-3B filed for the relevant period has been attached herewith as Annexure 2, which clearly establishes that the credit has been claimed based on the genuine tax invoices issued by the suppliers.
In case your good-self required any tax invoices for review, please let us know and we would be happy to submit the same.
2. As per the Section 16(4) of the Central GST Act, 2017, a taxpayer shall be entitled to avail the ITC in respect of any invoice for the supply of goods or services or both before the due date of furnishing of return for the month of September following the end of the financial year to which such invoice related or furnishing the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. Accordingly, the invoices pertaining to FY 2019-20 can be claimed upto due date of September 2020 or furnishing of relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. Hence, we are following up with the respective suppliers (whose ITC is not appearing in GSTR 2A) so that our suppliers can appropriately disclose the supplies made to us and accordingly, we shall able to reconcile the differences.
3. The data appearing in GSTR 2A on GST common portal for the Relevant Period is changes frequently due to various reasons and as highlighted in point 2, ITC on tax invoices for the Relevant Period can be claimed upto the due date of September 2020 or furnishing of relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. Hence, it will be unjust to take the basis of GSTR 2A for calculation of difference vis-Ã -vis GSTR 3B as on date.
Therefore, in the view of above, we request you to consider our responder favourably and close the matter.
In case any other documents/ information is required by your goodself, we shall be pleased to provide you the same.
Thank You
Yours Sincerely,
For ABCD India Private Limited
