Rule 86A permits blocking of input tax credit only to the extent credit is actually available in the Electronic Credit Ledger. Where the ledger shows no balance or a negative balance, the provision cannot be used to create or sustain further blocking.

The Department was left free to pursue the remaining disputed amount through adjudicatory proceedings after issuing a fresh show-cause notice.
