From the desk of Chairman

JULY 2019 (E-newsletter) V Issue

In July, we witnessed for the first time in the history of India that Union Budget was presented

by a female Finance Minister. The clarity that our Hon’ble Finance Minister Mrs. Nirmala

Sitaraman possessed was quite evident from the press conference held by her after the budget

was presented in Parliament. Hope policy reforms that are need of the hour will soon be

implemented and executed by her. Looking into the immediate need of members, a 3 Hrs CPE

seminar on Union Budget 2019 proposal was organized on Sunday 07.07.2019 with speaker

CA. Kapil Goel, Delhi deliberating on the subject.

There can always be arguments in favor or against the budget. But I would like to

congratulate Government for one eye catching proposal i.e. introduction of Amnesty Scheme

in Service Tax and Excise matters. This is a reflection of clear intention of the government to

close all old judicial matters and start afresh with new indirect tax regime that has engulfed

India in last 2 years.

This month was full of events. We celebrated our foundation day on 1st July where there was

overwhelming presence at flag hosting, felicitation of members, plantation of saplings, and

members proactively showed awareness towards health by turning in large number for

medical tests and blood donation. An eventful week included Save Water Marathon,

distribution of stationary kit to needy students, Lok-Nukkad Natak at Central Roadways Bus

Stand on Swacch Bharat theme, career counselling and GST literacy seminar in Govt. Meera

Girls College, investor awareness programme and literacy camp on Income Tax and GST.

For students, an industrial visit on 13th July 2019 was organized by our CICASA committee

for CA students which I believe is a perfect way to give practical exposure to students of

what is to come ahead. Then, on 21st-22nd July “CA Student’s Talent Search-2019” was

organized at branch level having competition of quiz/elocution/instrument music/nukkad

drama. Winners at Branch level will now participate at regional/national/international level

Monsoon has set in and we are waiting for heavy downpours. Every time I see heaven pouring

down, I get reminded of this quote - “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee,

the small child and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the

fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Let’s pray for lots of rain in coming days.

A. PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY CBIC ON 03RD JULY 2019

REGARDING GSTR- 9CQuery in Comment

Role of chartered accountant or a cost accountant in

certifying reconciliation statement - There are

apprehensions that the chartered accountant or cost

accountant may go beyond the books of account in their

recommendations under FORM GSTR-9C. The GST Act is

clear in this regard. With respect to the reconciliation

statement, their role is limited to reconciling the values

declared in annual return (FORM GSTR-9) with the audited

annual accounts of the taxpayer

This is first time that a GSTR-9C will be certified by

Chartered Accountant/ Cost Accountant. The biggest

challenge is that scope of this certification on bare reading of

statement of GSTR-9C along-with certification seems to be

humongous. This press release might be clarifying that we

don’t have to look for transactions beyond the annual

accounts. Just to highlight the fact that press release has

used annual accounts and not books of account because

both have different meaning. Books of account is much

wider term and particularly in context of GST, Section 35

read with Rule 56 has to be referred to. By referring annual

accounts in press release scope is curtailed to annual

accounts as compared to scope that was evident from

certification part given in GSTR-9C which required an

auditor to certify whether “ books of account” are properly

maintained or not.

Turnover for eligibility of filing of reconciliation

statement: It may be noted that the aggregate turnover i.e.

the turnover of all the registrations having the same

Permanent Account Number is to be used for determining

the requirement of filing of reconciliation statement.

Therefore, if there are two registrations in two different

States on the same PAN, say State A (with turnover of Rs.

1.2 Crore) and State B (with turnover of Rs. 1 Crore) they

are both required to file reconciliation statements

individually for their registrations since their aggregate

turnover is greater than Rs. 2 Crore. The aggregate turnover

for this purpose shall be reckoned for the period July, 2017

to March, 2018

It was point of huge confusion that whether aggregate

turnover is to be taken from April 17 to March 18 or July 17

to March 2018 for finding out eligibility of whether GSTR-

9C is required to be filed by the taxpayer. This clarification

comes as big relief for taxpayers as aggregate turnover for 2

crore limit for GST Audit is to be reckoned only for July

2017 to March 2019

Treatment of Credit Notes / Debit Notes issued during

FY 2018-19 for FY 2017-18 - It may be noted that no credit

note which has a tax implication can be issued after the

month of September 2018 for any supply pertaining to FY

2017-18; a financial/commercial credit note can, however,

be issued. If the credit or debit note for any supply was

issued and declared in returns of FY 2018-19 and the

provision for the same has been made in the books of

accounts for FY 2017-18, the same shall be declared in Pt. V

of the annual return. Many taxpayers have also represented

that there is no provision in Pt. II of the reconciliation

statement for adjustment in turnover in lieu of debit notes

issued during FY 2018-19 although provision for the same

was made in the books of accounts for FY 2017-18. In such

cases, they may adjust the same in Table 5O of the

reconciliation statement in FORM GSTR-9C

Clarification relating to presentation of credit note/ debit

note in GSTR-9 and consequently in GSTR-9C when

provision made in 17-18 itself for credit note though issued

in 18-19.

Reconciliation of input tax credit availed on expenses -

Table 14 of the reconciliation statement calls for

reconciliation of input tax credit availed on expenses with

input tax credit declared in the annual return. It may be

noted that only those expenses are to be reconciled where

Complete Reconciliation of expense is not required, only

those expenses has to be scrutinized relating to which ITC

has been availed.

Query in Comment

input tax credit has been availed. Further, the list of

expenses given in Table 14 is a representative list of heads

under which input tax credit may have been availed. The

taxpayer has the option to add any head of expenses.

Payment of any unpaid tax -Section 73 of the CGST Act

provides a unique opportunity of self – correction to all

taxpayers i.e. if a taxpayer has not paid, short paid or has

erroneously obtained/been granted refund or has wrongly

availed or utilized input tax credit then before the service of

a notice by any tax authority, the taxpayer may pay the

amount of tax with interest. In such cases, no penalty shall

be leviable on such tax payer. Therefore, in cases where

some information has not been furnished in the statement of

outward supplies in FORM GSTR-1 or in the regular

returns in FORM GSTR-3B, such taxpayers may pay the

tax with interest through FORM GST DRC-03 at any time.

In fact, the annual return provides an additional opportunity

for such taxpayers to declare the summary of supply against

which payment of tax is made.

Annual return provides an opportunity to taxpayer to

reconcile and if any additional liability is found to be

payable then the same can be paid vide DRC-03 challan.

Here it is pertinent to mention here that if annual return is

selected as drop down while making payment through DRC-

03 challan then the same is to be paid in cash only.

In normal course credit can be used while making payment

through DRC-03 challan. In author’s view credit can be used

for payment of additional liability declared through annual

return.

Primary data source for declaration in annual return -

Time and again taxpayers have been requesting as to what

should be the primary source of data for filing of the annual

return and the reconciliation statement. There has been some

confusion over using FORM GSTR-1, FORM GSTR-3B

or books of accounts as the primary source of information. It

is important to note that both FORM GSTR-1 and FORM

GSTR-3B serve different purposes. While, FORM GSTR-1

is an account of details of outward supplies, FORM GSTR-

3B is where the summaries of all transactions are declared

and payments are made. Ideally, information in FORM

GSTR-1, FORM GSTR-3B and books of accounts should

be synchronous and the values should match across different

forms and the books of accounts. If the same does not

match, there can be broadly two scenarios, either tax was not

paid to the Government or tax was paid in excess. In the first

case, the same shall be declared in the annual return and

tax should be paid and in the latter all information may

be declared in the annual return and refund (if eligible) may

be applied through FORM GST RFD-01A. Further, no

input tax credit can be reversed or availed through the

annual return. If taxpayers find themselves liable for

reversing any input tax credit, they may do the same

through FORM GST DRC-03 separately.

It was popularly misconceived by the taxpayers that annual

return is summary of all the returns filed for the period July

2017 to March 2018. Unfortunately some assesse taxpayer

might have filed the return on the basis of auto populated

data in GSTR-9 by the site. However GSTR-9 as notified by

NN 74/2018- CT cannot be interpreted in a way to conclude

that GSTR-9 is a mere summarization of annual return.

Earlier press release and this instruction in press release

clarified that synchronization between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B

and books of account should be made while preparing

annual return. In nutshell, books of account along-with

GSTR-3b should be the basis for preparing annual return.

Premise of Table 8D of Annual Return - There appears to

be some confusion regarding declaration of input tax credit

in Table 8 of the annual return. The input tax credit which is

declared / computed in Table 8D is basically credit that was

available to a taxpayer in his FORM GSTR-2A but was

not availed by him between July 2017 to March 2019.

The deadline has already passed and the taxpayer cannot

avail such credit now. There is no question of lapsing of any

such credit, since this credit

Table 8D is the difference between the credit as availed by

the taxpayer and the credit as appearing in GSTR-2A as on

01.05.2019. Government has clarified that this is merely an

information which it needs for settlement purpose. This

sentence can be constructed as big relief for taxpayers who

have taken credit in excess of appearing in GSTR-2A,

though taken on the basis of valid invoiced and were

worrying of lapsing of credit on account of difference with

GSTR-2A.

never entered the electronic credit ledger of any taxpayer.

Therefore, taxpayers need not be concerned about the

values reflected in this table. This is merely an information

that the Government needs for settlement purposes. Figures

in Table 8A of FORM GSTR-9 are auto-populated only

for those FORM GSTR-1 which were furnished by the

corresponding suppliers by the due date. Thus, ITC on

supplies made during the financial year 2017-18, if reported

beyond the said date by the corresponding supplier, will not

get auto-populated in said Table 8A. It may also be noted

that FORM GSTR-2A continues to be auto-populated on

the basis of the corresponding FORM GSTR-1 furnished

by suppliers even after the due date. In such cases there

would be a mis-match between the updated FORM GSTR-

2A and the auto-populated information in Table 8A. It is

important to note that Table 8A of the annual returns is

auto- populated from FORM GSTR-2A as on 1st May,

2019.

Premises of Table 8J of Annual Return - In the press

release on annual return issued earlier on 4th June 2019, it

has already been clarified that all credit of IGST paid at the

time of imports between July 2017 to March 2019 may be

declared in Table 6E. If the same is done properly by a

taxpayer, then Table 8I and 8J shall contain information on

credit which was available to the taxpayer and the taxpayer

chose not to avail the same. The deadline has already passed

and the taxpayer cannot avail such credit now. There is no

question of lapsing of any such credit, since this credit never

entered the electronic credit ledger of any taxpayer.

Therefore, taxpayers need not be concerned about the values

reflected in this table. This is information that the

Government needs for settlement purposes

In the press release on annual return issued earlier on 4th

June 2019, it has already been clarified that all credit of

IGST paid at the time of imports between July 2017 to

March 2019 may be declared in Table 6E. If the same is

done properly by a taxpayer, then Table 8I and 8J shall

contain information on credit which was available to the

taxpayer and the taxpayer chose not to avail the same. As

per the press release deadline to avail the credit was 31st

March 2019 hence the same cannot be availed.

Difficulty in reporting of information not reported in

regular returns - There have been a number of

representations regarding non-availability of information in

Table16A or 18 of Annual return in FORM GSTR-9. It has

been observed that smaller taxpayers are facing a lot of

challenge in reporting information that was not being

explicitly reported in their regular statement/returns (FORM

GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-3B). Therefore, taxpayers are

advised to declare all such data / details (which are not part

of their regular statement/returns) to the best of their

knowledge and records. This data is only for information

purposes and reasonable/explainable variations in the

information reported in these tables will not be viewed

adversely

There is certain information as required in annual return like

inward supplies from composition taxpayers, HSN wise

summary of inward supplies which was not asked in GSTR-

1, GSTR-4 and GSTR-3B, hence great difficulty is being

faced by taxpayers in filling this data. Government has

clarified that information can be filled to the best of

knowledge on the basis of records, since the same is

informative purpose.

Question that stands before an assesse is whether it can be

argued that such information cannot be demanded by the

government. Unfortunately answer is negative because as

per Section 35(5) read with Rule 56, 57 and 58 every

registered person is required to maintain the inward supplies

records.

Now second question arises what if the same information is

not furnished. Will it be treated as suppression of facts to

invoke any demand under Section 74 of CGST Act.

Unfortunately answer is yes in our view but courts have also

held that suppression should go hand in hand with intention

to evade duty for invoking demand under extended period.

Hence there is always a shelter for assesse to prove that there

was no intention to evade duty in not providing those details.

Query in Comment

Information in Table 5D (Exempted), Table 5E (Nil

Rated) and Table 5F (Non-GST Supply): It has been

represented by various trade bodies/associations that there

appears to be some confusion over what values are to be

entered in Table 5D,5E and 5F of FORM GSTR-9. Since,

there is some overlap between supplies that are classifiable

as exempted and nil rated and since there is no tax payable

on such supplies, if there is a reasonable/explainable overlap

of information reported across these tables, such overlap will

not be viewed adversely. The other concern raised by

taxpayers is the inclusion of no supply in the category of

Non-GST supplies in Table 5F. For the purposes of

reporting, non-GST supplies includes supply of alcoholic

liquor for human consumption, motor spirit (commonly

known as petrol), high speed diesel, aviation turbine fuel,

petroleum crude and natural gas and transactions specified in

Schedule III of the CGST Act.

Exempted, Nil rated and Non GST supplies cannot be

clearly segregated as per GST Law read with rules,

notification etc., however there is a separate requirement to

report exempted, nil rated and non GST supply in GSTR-9.

Hence such difficulty is sought to be removed by this

instruction by expressing reporting under the three will not

be viewed adversely.

Reverse charge in respect of Financial Year 2017-18

paid during Financial Year 2018- 19 - Many taxpayers

have requested for clarification on the appropriate column or

table in which tax which was to be paid on reverse charge

basis for the FY 2017-18 but was paid during FY 2018-19.

It may be noted that since the payment was made during FY

2018-19, the input tax credit on such payment of tax would

have been availed in FY 2018-19 only. Therefore, such

details will not be declared in the annual return for the FY

2017-18 and will be declared in the annual return for FY

2018-19. If there are any variations in the calculation of

turnover on account of this adjustment, the same may be

reported with reasons in the reconciliation statement

(FORM GSTR-9C).

This clarification was much required as there was huge

confusion about this aspect on the appropriate column or

table in which tax which was to be paid on reverse charge

basis for the FY 2017-18 but was paid during FY 2018-19.

As per the press release the same is required to be reported

in 18-19 annual return instead of 17-18 annual return.

What will happen in case when RCM liability of 17-18 is

not paid in 18-19 is not made clear?

As per author’s view the same needs to be identified and

paid before filing of annual return of 17-18 so that assesse

might save the credit in such case on such RCM liability

paid.

Duplication of information in Table 6B and 6H - Many

taxpayers have represented about duplication of

information in Table 6B and 6H of the annual return. It may

be noted that the label in Table 6H clearly states that

information declared in Table 6H is exclusive of Table 6B.

Therefore, information of such input tax credit is to be

declared in one of the rows only
