Dear All,
My client is filing GSTR-3B after 6 months of due date along with interest and late fee, just wanted to clarify whether in this case also we need to match ITC with the data available in 2B of that month or we can go head and claim as ITC based on 2A (reflecting in 2B of that month and later months)?
In my opinion, as we have paid the taxes along interest and late fee, tax payer cannot be penalized for the act of supplier late filing.
Thanks in advance.
