Debate on Interest Payable for Disallowed IGST Input Tax Credit: Exploring GST Law Complexities and Interpretations A company faced a disallowance of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for IGST amounting to Rs. 15 lakh from November 2020, which was reversed in February 2023. The discussion revolves around whether interest is payable on this disallowed ITC. Various contributors expressed differing opinions.
