No payment of goods (including IGST) was made by A to B and more than 180 days lapsed. Whether deptt can ask for reversal or cn deny for ITC if payment not made by A to B.

AI Summary

Accumulated input tax credit refund may be denied where inputs lacked duty and reversed if inter unit payment remains unpaid.
Refund of accumulated ITC for exports under LUT may be unavailable where inputs did not suffer duty (for example, goods under advance authorisation imported prior to GST). If inter unit supplies led to ITC availed but payment was not made within the prescribed period, the department can require reversal of ITC with interest and withhold or deny refund until payment; issuing a show cause notice and raising a demand in such circumstances is a legitimate enforcement action.
