https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=103337 GSTR-2A is a facilitation tool rather than a statutory bar to input tax credit. Credit claimed within the extended period for FY 2017-18 requires invoice-wise reconciliation; non-reflection in GSTR-2A for FY 2018-19 alone cannot establish supplier default. Section 75(4) requires a personal hearing before an adverse GST decision, even without a specific request. Return scrutiny under Section 61 and demand proceedings under Section 73 are independent, so absence of FORM GST ASMT-10 does not itself invalidate a direct demand proceeding. Interest and penalty remain consequential to sustainable tax liability. The disputed credit was remanded for verification and fresh adjudication after hearing. en-us Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:30:15 +0530 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:30:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=103337 GSTR-2A is a facilitation tool rather than a statutory bar to input tax credit.
