Input tax credit mismatches between Forms GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A may support tax determination under section 73, but do not by themselves justify section 74 proceedings or penalties. Section 74 requires clear evidence connecting wrongful credit availment with fraud, wilful misstatement, or suppression of facts intended to evade tax; merely reciting those terms is insufficient.

A supplier's default cannot automatically be attributed to the recipient as suppression.
