Cancelled supplier GSTIN and the ITC mismatch

Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

  1. Facts

    If a supplier's registration is cancelled from an earlier date, invoices after that date may drop from your GSTR-2B and the credit is open to question under Sec 16(2)(c). DRC-01C or a later notice can follow.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 16(2)(c), CGST Act 2017ITC only if the tax charged has actually been paid to the government by the supplier
    • Sec 16(2)(aa), CGST Act 2017ITC only when the invoice is furnished by the supplier and communicated in GSTR-2B
    • Sec 29(2), CGST Act 2017Officer may cancel registration, including for not filing returns for the prescribed period
  3. Analysis

    Check the supplier's status and the effective date of cancellation on Search Taxpayer. If invoices fall after that date and are missing in GSTR-2B, the safe course is to pay back and recover from the supplier. If the goods were genuinely received and paid by bank, keep the e-way bills, transport papers and payment proof for any defence later.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Search the supplier GSTIN and note the cancellation date
    2. Identify invoices after that date
    3. Pay back the credit or explain with documents
    4. Keep proof of receipt and payment for defence
    5. Stop further purchases until the supplier is restored
