GST Compliance Rating - 149
• “GST compliance rating” where a dealer is given a rating and any
fall in the rating below a prescribed level will have impact of
blacklisting of a Dealer.
• While making a purchase from the dealer his compliance rating
can be verified and decision of purchase will be dependent on the
rating of selling dealer.
• The ITC on purchase from a blacklisted dealer shall not be
available unless the rating of the dealer is improved to normal and
on the other hand ITC from a non blacklisted is not assured by
Govt. and it mainly depends on tax invoices and payment of due
taxes.
• In case the above dealer file his return and pay due taxes with
interest his rating shall be improved to normal and in that case
reversed ITC can be reclaimed by the buyer.
01.07.18 CA Gadia Manish R 18
Trigger points for blacklisting
• Depending on various factors following are the key points for
blacklisting of a dealer:
 Continuous default for 3 months in paying ITC that has been
reversed.
 Continuous default of 3 months or any 3 month-period over
duration of 12 months in uploading outward supply details leading
to reversal of ITC for others.
 Continuous short reporting of outward supply beyond a prescribed
limit of 5% (of total turnover ) for a period of 6 months.
 The profiles for all dealers would be posted in public domain so that
the dealer community is kept aware of the compliance profile of all
registered dealers with whom they may have to deal with during
the course of their business.
01.07.18 CA Gadia Manish R 19
Advantage of Black Listing
• It will act as panacea for regulating ITC for buyer. A
proactive buyer can take decision based on the
compliance rating of his seller
• Auto-SMS will be sent to all dealers who have pre-
registered this dealer (black listed now) as their
supplier.
• Blacklisted GSTINs cannot be uploaded in purchase
details and result in denial of ITC
• Once blacklisting is lifted, buyers can avail unclaimed
ITC subject to this dealer uploading outward supplies
details along with payment of tax and interest.
