Appendix A

Summary of stock of inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock on which input tax credit is required to be paid under section 29(5)-whose invoices are not available

Check points for the Chartered Accountants –

1. This certificate is required to be issued only if the tax invoices related to the inputs held in stock, inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock and on capital goods are not available (Rule 44 (3) and Rule 44(5) of the CGST / SGST Rules, 2017). It may be noted that the above said Rule 44 (3) stipulates issuance of a Certificate only in cases of non-possession of invoices. The said Rule does not speak of issuance of Certificate if the registered person is in possession of the relevant tax invoices.

1. Verify registration particulars with the Registration Certificate. Check whether declaration in Form GSTR10 is filed by the tax payer on GST portal declaring the above amounts in the respective columns.

iii. Check computation of input tax credit to be reversed by multiplying the effective rate of tax specified under Notification 1/2017-CT (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 as amended from time to time with the estimated value of inputs or input contained in semi-finished or finished goods.

1. Ensure that the amount is determined separately for input tax credit of Central Tax, State Tax, Union Territory Tax and Integrated Tax and verified / reconciled with the ledger balances.

1. In case there are stock-in-transits as on the specified date of eligibility of credits, appropriate treatment to be considered. (Note: Practical difficulty may arise to determine the credit amount and invoice-wise details of items consumed at WIP / semi-finished and finished goods stage. This may be computed by way of a fixed % and relevant assumptions / note may be included in the Certificate).

10. Check reversal of credit in Electronic Credit Ledger and payment in Electronic Cash Ledger of the amount as specified in GSTR-10.

vii. This certificate is to be suitably modified wherever applicable. The names of the registered persons, dates, addresses etc. are only illustrative and needs to be modified in each case. Any resemblance to any person / place is purely unintentional.

viii. This certificate is to be issued in respect of a person whose registration has been cancelled under Section 29 of the CGST / SGST Acts, 2017.

Ensure that a declaration is taken from the Applicant with regard to non-availability of tax invoices and reasons for the same.
