One of my supplier supplied a material in June, 2021 for which total payment was made within 3 days. The supplier duly uploaded the invoice in June, 21 GSTR-1 & ITC was duly availed in our June GSTR-2A. Only one invoice transaction took place with him. In july, 2021 when we were matching our GSTR-2A, we were shocked that he has reversed ITC vide Credit Note although no Credit Note was given to us & no eway bill is there against that credit Note. He has not even filed GSTR-3B for month of June, 2021. This seems to be a fraud on us. Now what is the remedy available to us. Whether any criminal complaint can be filed against him so as to set an example for others. Kindly advise.
Supplier has reversed the ITC of invoice after receiving payment.
