[Kaustubh Karandikar]

XYZ had obtained MEIS licence and the same is used for payment of customs duty. In financials, they had considered it as income under head other revenues - Export Incentives.

1) Is ITC required to be reversed on it.

2) Is it required to be shown anywhere in GSTR - 1 or GSTR - 3B?

AI Summary

MEIS scrip use for customs: treated outside GST, so no ITC reversal required and no GSTR reporting.
An MEIS scrip used to pay customs duty is not a supply for GST purposes; GST is not applicable and no Input Tax Credit reversal is required. Because the transaction is outside the scope of GST, the MEIS scrip need not be reported in GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B, and accounting as other revenue does not change the GST treatment.
