The ten percent limit on ITC claims for invoices or debit notes, the details of which were not uploaded by the suppliers, was reduced to 5%.<\/li>\n<li>If the liability declared in GSTR 3B is less than that declared in GSTR 1 in a given month, the department may now proceed with the cancellation of GSTIN. There may be some practical problems in enforcing such a clause, as there are a range of corrections made in GSTR 3B which may result in lower tax liability compared to GSTR 1. The newly added clause (f) relates to the details of the outward supply of which we understand that both the taxable value and the tax should be in synchronisation between GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B.<\/li>\n<li>No right to be heard shall be granted to a taxpayer for suspension of GSTIN if the proper officer (PO) has reason to believe that the person&#8217;s registration will be canceled.
