Reveal answer & explanation

Correct answer: B) B) Tax payable is Rs. 100,000; the remaining Rs. 50,000 input tax is carried forward to the next tax period.

Explanation

A registered person shall not be allowed to adjust input tax in excess of 90% of the output tax for that tax period. 90% of Rs. 1,000,000 is Rs. 900,000. Thus, the payable amount is Rs. 100,000 (1,000,000 - 900,000), and the unadjusted input tax of Rs. 50,000 (950,000 - 900,000) is carried forward.
