It is important to note that in case of eligible ITC the reference is taken from GSTR 2A and not GSTR 3/3B. The Annual Return under GST is a starting point for GST Reconciliation Statement and GST Audit as all the reconciliation in the GST Audit is to be done between GST Annual Returns and Books of accounts. It thereby carries utmost importance.
