Everything you must know about new disclosures in GSTR-3B

While reconciling the books of accounts with invoices appearing in GSTR-2B, one may find certain differences in the amount of ITC reported by the supplier against an invoice, vis-à-vis what is accounted in the books of buyer. The manner of availing ITC on such invoices in GSTR-3B of August 2022 and subsequent months is discussed in table below.
Table 3: Disclosures for amount differences
Sl no | Amount diff. in GSTR-2B and Books | Recorded in Books of A/Cs | Available in GSTR 2B | Treatment in GSTR 3B of Aug 2022 (Availment or reversal) | GSTR 3B of Subsequent period (Availment or reversal) |
| 1 | BoA > 2B Where vendor has disclosed incorrect amount | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | Option 1: Not to avail as the amount is mismatched and follow-up with vendor for providing correct invoice or correction in GSTR 2B. Thus, in GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5)- Rs.75,000 b. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal, Rs.75,000 Table 4A(5): Rs.75,000 | Corresponding to Option 1: Period in which books and portal are matched(vendor rectification in portal to Rs.90,000). Thus in GSTR-3B : a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5), Rs.90,000 (Rs 15,000 would be auto populated) b. Disclose in Table 4D(1). Rs.75,000 Corresponding to Option 2: ITC to be availed to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B. Thus GSTR 3B : Table 4A(5): Rs.15,000(Auto-populated) |
| 2 | BoA > 2B Where vendor has disclosed incorrect amount | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | Sept-22 Rs. 75,000 | No action in Aug-22 as no amount populated in GSTR-2B | Follow treatment as mentioned in SI no. 1 above |
| 3 | BoA > 2B Where accounting in books is improper | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | Option 1: Not to avail as the amount is mismatched and follow-up with vendor for providing correct invoice or correction in GSTR 2B. Thus, in GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5), Rs.75,000 b. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal, Rs.75,000 Option 2: ITC to be availed to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B. Thus GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: | Corresponding to Option 1: Period in which books and portal are matched (Books of accounts rectification to Rs.75,000). Thus, in GSTR 3B : a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5), Rs.75,000 b. Disclose in Table 4D(1). Rs.75,000 Corresponding to Option 2: ITC availed the previous month to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B, thus no action in GSTR 3B but rectification in BoA, Rs. 15,000 |
| 4 | BoA > 2B Where accounting in books is improper | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | Sept-22 Rs. 75,000 | No action in Aug-22 as no amount populated in GSTR-2B | Follow treatment as mentioned in SI no. 3 above |
| 5 | BoA > 2B | Sept-22 Rs. 90,000 | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | 1. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5) 2. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal | Follow the treatment as mentioned in SI no. 1 or 3 based on the scenario |
| 6 | BoA < 2B Where vendor has disclosed incorrect amount | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | Option 1: Not to avail as the amount is mismatched and follow-up with vendor for providing correct invoice or correction in GSTR 2B. Thus in GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: b. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal Rs.90,000 Option 2: ITC to be availed to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B. Thus GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: a.

| 7 | BoA < 2B Where vendor has disclosed incorrect amount | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | Sept-22 Rs. 90,000 | No action in Aug-22 as no amount populated in GSTR-2B | Follow treatment as mentioned in SI no. 6 above |

Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal, Rs.90,000Option 2: ITC to be availed to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B.Thus GSTR 3B of Aug 2022: a. Table 4A(5): Rs.90,000b. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal Rs.15,000 | Corresponding to Option 1: Period in which books and portal are matched(Books of accounts rectification to Rs.90,000). Thus in GSTR 3B : a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5), Rs.90,000 b. Disclose in Table 4D(1). Rs.90,000 Corresponding to Option 2: ITC to be availed to the extent the amount is matched to GSTR 2B. Thus GSTR 3B; a. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5), Rs.15,000 b. Disclose in Table 4D(1). Rs.15,000 |
| 9 | BoA < 2B Where accounting in books is improper | Aug-22 Rs. 75,000 | Sept-22 Rs. 90,000 | No action in Aug-22 as no amount populated in GSTR-2B | Follow treatment as mentioned in SI no. 8 above |
| 10 | BoA < 2B | Sept-22 Rs. 75,000 | Aug-22 Rs. 90,000 | 1. Claim in GSTR-3B Table 4A(5) Rs. 90,000 2. Reverse in 4B(2) – temporary reversal Rs. 90,000 | Follow the treatment as mentioned in SI no. 6 or 8 based on the scenario |
The disclosure methodology has been completely changed, burdening the taxpayer to not only reconcile books with GSTR-2B but also keeping track of permanent and temporary reversals, with the challenge of time gap between reflection of invoices in GSTR-2B viz a viz ITC recorded (or not yet recorded) in the books. Taxpayer to be updated with all types of eligible and ineligible credits impacting their business.
Medium and small-scale industries who may not presently have robust automated internal systems for accounting and reconciliation may face issues in appropriate disclosures in GSTR 3B, which may increase departmental interventions.

Sir,
I have confusion with Point no.27 -ITC on domestic RCM supplies. , recorded in books but not available in 2B, then message appears in GSTR3B that “The input tax credit values have been auto-populated on the basis of the GSTR-2B generated for you. However, the values entered by you is at variance with the auto-populated values in table 4A. Please note that upward variance with the auto-populated input tax credit values is in contravention to Rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules, 2017. Kindly ensure that the values entered by you are correct before proceeding”. Pls clarify what to do in this case,
Sir,
I disagree with Point no.6 -reversal of ITC on credit note. If net off in table 4A(5), then message appears in GSTR3B that ITC is mismatch with auto populated data. Then better to show as 4B(2). Pls clarify
