This rule addresses the often perplexing issue of discrepancies between Input Tax Credit (ITC) availed in GSTR-3B and the credit reported in GSTR-2B for specific periods. In this article, we delve deep into the historical context of ITC reconciliation, the evolution of Rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules, and the comprehensive implications of the new Rule 88D.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Context_A_Glance_at_Rule_364_of_CGST_Rules_and_its_Evolutions\"><\/span>Historical Context: A Glance at Rule 36(4) of CGST Rules and its Evolutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Initial Days: Self-Declaration Era <\/strong>Prior to the implementation of Rule 36(4) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules, which lasted until 9 October 2019, taxpayers determined their input tax credit (ITC) on a self-declaration basis. This provided flexibility but lacked strict verification mechanisms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Turning Point: Insertion of Rule 36(4) <\/strong>This landscape underwent a transformative shift post 9 October The CGST Rules were augmented with Rule 36(4), as per <strong>Notification No. 49\/2019-Central Tax<\/strong>. The spotlight was now on a robust mechanism: ITC claims had to mirror the credit outlined in GSTR-2A. As a leeway, taxpayers were permitted to claim an extra 20% credit on invoices that didn\u2019t find a match.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Tweaking the Rules: Further Amendments <\/strong>However, this 20% buffer didn\u2019t last long. An ensuing revision via<a href=\"#\"> <strong>Notification No 75\/2019 Central Tax dated 26 December 2019<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/goods-and-service-tax\/rule-86a-conditions-of-use-of-amount-available-in-electronic-credit-ledger.html\"> <\/a>dictated that from the onset of 2020 until its close, the permissible threshold for unmatched invoice credit was sliced to 10%. The tightening didn\u2019t stop As per <strong>Notification No 94\/2020-Central Tax dated 22 December 2020<\/strong>, this threshold faced a further reduction to 5% for the entire calendar year of 2021.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Impacts on Taxpayers: A Mixed Bag <\/strong>On the bright side, Rule 36(4) tossed a lifeline to taxpayers by allowing additional credit on unmatched invoices. This cushion, albeit shrinking over time, provided some breathing On the flip side, it thrust upon taxpayers an augmented workload. Monthly compliance now<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>demanded vigilant tracking of unmatched invoices. They had to keenly observe which invoices got reconciled in the subsequent months and how much of the buffer credit they\u2019d already leveraged for those remaining unmatched.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elucidation_on_Input_Tax_Credit_Matching_from_April_2017_to_December_2021\"><\/span>Elucidation&nbsp;&nbsp; on&nbsp;&nbsp; Input&nbsp; Tax&nbsp;&nbsp; Credit&nbsp;&nbsp; Matching&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; from&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; April 2017&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to December 2021<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<ol start=\"2018\">\n<li><strong>Pre-CBIC Clarification Era (April 2017 to March 2019): <\/strong>Until CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) spelled out its stance for the period spanning April 2017 to March 2019, taxpayers navigated their way using a press release dated 18 October 2018. This release indicated that mandatorily matching credit with GSTR- 2A wasn\u2019t The waters were clarified when CBIC introduced <strong>Circular No. 183\/15\/2022-GST<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/goods-and-service-tax\/clarification-deal-difference-itc-availed-form-gstr-3b.html\"> <\/a><\/strong><strong><u>dated<\/u><\/strong> <strong>27 December 2022<\/strong>. This document delineated guidelines for addressing unmatched credit for the aforementioned period. It ushered in a dual mechanism: either self-certification or, based on the magnitude of unmatched credit, validation from professionals, notably Chartered Accountants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2021\">\n<li><strong>The Silent Phase and Ensuing Clarity (FY 2019-20 and April 2020 to December 2021): <\/strong>The previously discussed circular remained mum on credit matching for the fiscal year 2019-20 and the period stretching from April 2020 to December 2021. Given the void, CBIC felt the imperative to release another directive. Hence, <strong>Circular 193\/05\/2023- GST dated 17th July 2023<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/goods-and-service-tax\/cbic-circular-193-05-2023-gst-clarification-input-tax-credit-availment-gstr-3b-gstr-2a.html\"> <\/a>saw the light of day. Echoing its predecessor\u2019s spirit, this document extended reprieve to taxpayers for unmatched credits claimed during this timeframe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fresh_Alterations_in_CGST_Act_Insertion_of_new_clause_in_Section_162_of_CGST_Act_2017\"><\/span>Fresh Alterations in CGST Act: Insertion of new clause in Section 16(2) of CGST Act, 2017<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>From 1st January 2022, the CGST Act\u2019s Section 16(2) embraced clause \u2018aa\u2019.

Depending on directives from the GST Council, an electronic intimation via Part A of Form DRC-01C is dispensed to the taxpayer in such circumstances. The onus then falls on the taxpayer to address this They have two clear options:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Remit the differential amount along with the applicable interest via DRC-03.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>Articulate the reasons for the disparity in Part B of Form DRC-01C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to note that the threshold, upon which this intimation would be triggered, remains under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Consequences of Non-Compliance: <\/strong>The rule doesn\u2019t shy away from penalties. If a taxpayer neither settles the intimated amount detailed in Part A of Form DRC-01C nor elucidates their stance within a window of 7 days in Part B, they will be served a notice under either Section 73 or 74 of the CGST Act, demanding the outstanding amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>An Addendum to Rule 59(6) \u2013 Clause (e): <\/strong>Complementing Rule 88D, there\u2019s an augmentation in Rule 59(6) through the introduction of Clause (e). This clause underscores that any taxpayer, who remains passive, neither settling the excess ITC as indicated in Part A of Form DRC-01C nor offering an explanation in Part B of the same form, will be barred from submitting GSTR-1 for the ensuing tax period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In essence, Rule 88D coupled with the new clause in Rule 59(6) fortifies the GST framework, ensuring taxpayers remain vigilant and discrepancies in ITC are promptly addressed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analyzing_the_Impact_of_Rule_88D_of_CGST_Rules\"><\/span>Analyzing the Impact of Rule 88D of CGST Rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Intensified Compliance Monitoring<\/strong>: The introduction of Rule 88D in the CGST Rules ushers in heightened scrutiny on the Input Tax Credit (ITC) reconciliation process. The earlier leniency and absence of a structured response system to discrepancies between GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A are now replaced with a systematic intimation and follow-up procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Streamlined Accountability Mechanism<\/strong>: Prior to the introduction of this rule, discrepancies in ITC were flagged through visual cues and pop-up warnings during the GSTR-3B filing process. With the advent of Rule 88D, these discrepancies now carry tangible consequences, making the taxpayers more<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Relevance of Timeframe<\/strong>: The rule places emphasis on the month in which the ITC is claimed, not on the month the supply is reported. This means that if an invoice is raised in June but credit is claimed in August, the taxpayer will need to be cautious. It requires businesses to have a meticulous ITC management system to ensure there\u2019s alignment between claimed ITC and reflected credits in GSTR-2B.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Implications for Specific Accounting Practices<\/strong>: Businesses following a payment-based ITC availment approach might find themselves frequently receiving intimations under Part A of DRC-01C. The rule doesn\u2019t inherently distinguish between genuine procedural delays in claiming credits and intentional misreporting. This might necessitate a re-evaluation of such accounting practices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prompt Actions Are Crucial<\/strong>: The 7-day window for taxpayers to act post receiving the intimation is Businesses need to ensure they have efficient systems in place to address discrepancies promptly to avert statutory notices and the cascading ramifications like the inability to file GSTR-1 for the succeeding period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>v . Potential Operational Challenges<\/strong>: Regularly tracking the ITC discrepancies, especially for larger corporations with a vast number of transactions, can be an operational challenge. Firms may need to invest in more sophisticated software solutions or dedicated compliance teams to manage this efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disclaimer:<\/u> <\/strong>This article provides general information existing at the time of preparation and we take no responsibility to update it with the subsequent changes in the law.
