4. What is the primary reason businesses face the “interest on credit” issue after a GST rate cut?
A) GST on luxury goods increases

• Location: India (Nationwide applicability)
• Date: September 6, 2025

• Input Tax Credit (ITC): The credit businesses can claim for the GST paid on purchases of goods or services used in their operations, which can be used to offset GST liability on sales.
• Interest on Credit: The additional cost businesses incur when they borrow funds (due to blocked refunds or excess ITC) and pay interest on these loans, reducing overall profitability.
• Blocked Working Capital: Capital tied up in pending ITC refunds, which cannot be used for operational needs, leading to liquidity challenges and credit dependency.
• GST Refund Delay: A systemic issue where excess ITC cannot be quickly refunded by the government, forcing businesses to rely on credit to cover daily expenses.
