ITC Reversal

The company has availed higher rate of drawback and also claimed SGST portion as refund . While filing GSTR 3B the amount of claim is mentioned against CGST and SGST both as the system automatically fills both the column. we want to reverse the ITC showing in credit ledger as it is not eligible for refund. Asked GST helpdesk, they told to put the figure in GSTR-3B 4(B)(2) but interest is leviable on reversal. My question is why should interest is applicable as it is not covered under Section 37

Since you have not only claimed the undue credit but it has been considered in 3B also. Therefore you have to pay the interest.
