ITC details in Table 6 of GSTR 9
The Annual Return GSTR 9 consists of details of outward and inward supplies along with ITC claimed, reversed, tax liability, tax payment and the adjustments are to be reported.
Some of the details in GSTR 9 can be computed using the detail in returns filed earlier, while the remaining sections need to be prepared by the taxpayer.
There are three tables for providing ITC details, of which one table can be partially derived using data filed with GST.
Table | Scope | Auto-populated |
Table 6 | ITC availed as declared in returns filed during the financial year | Partially |
Table 7 | ITC Reversed and Ineligible ITC as declared in returns filed during the financial year | No |
Table 8 | Other ITC related information includes ITC transactions of financial year reported upto Septemember following the FY | Partially |
ITC claimed and reversal information is submitted by the taxpayers in GSTR 3B on the monthly basis.
Table 4 of GSTR 3B form consists of the following ITC information and the data in GSTR 9 should ideally tally with GSTR 3B details
- ITC Available includes ITC available from import of goods and services, received from ISD, on account of reverse charge and other
- ITC Reversed on account
- ITC ineligible
Let us look at Table 6 of GSTR 9 in detail. The key details to be provided in this table are
Table 6A: Total amount of input tax credit availed through FORM GSTR-3B (sum total of Table 4A of FORM GSTR-3B)
Table 6B: Inward supplies (other than imports and inward supplies liable to reverse charge but includes services received from SEZs). ITC claimed needs to be further bifurcated into ITC on account of input goods, services and capital goods
IMPACT ANALYSIS

Table 6D: Inward supplies received from registered persons liable to reverse charge (other than table 6 B above) on which tax is paid and ITC availed
Table 6E: Aggregate value of input tax credit availed on all imports (for inputs and capital goods) from outside India or SEZ units
Table 6F: Import of services (excluding inward supplies from SEZs). Here aggregate value of input tax credit availed on all import of services received from outside India should be reported.

Table 6J: Ideally, the difference in Table 6J should be nil. This is for the reason that the amount disclosed in 6A is auto populated from GSTR 3B of July 2017 to March 2018.
Table 6K: Amount of credit received in the electronic credit ledger through FORM GST TRAN-I up to 31st March 2018.
