Key points to be noted 

a) Reverse charge credit on import of services is not a part of this statement and should be entered by taxpayers in Table 4(A)(2) of FORM GSTR-3B.

b) The documents furnished by the supplier in any GSTR-1,5 and 6 would reflect in the GSTR-2B of the recipient irrespective of the date of issuance of the concerned document. For example, if a supplier furnishes a document 1-2020/21 dt. 17.04.2020 in the FORM GSTR-1 for the month of July, 2020 filed on 11th August 2020, the details of 1-2020/21 dt. 17.04.2020 will get reflected in GSTR-2B of July 2020 (generated on 12th August 2020) and not in the GSTR-2B of May, 2020.

c) Details of all the documents in GSTR-2B is made available online as well as through download facility.

d) Credit shown as “ITC Not available” covers the following scenarios only –

i. Invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both where the recipient is not entitled to input tax credit as per the provisions of 16(4) of CGST Act, 2017.

ii. Invoice or debit note where the Supplier (GSTIN) and place of supply are in the same State while recipient is in another State.

If there is any other ITC (e.g. blocked credit u/s 17(5)) which is not shown in ‘ITC not available’ tab but the taxpayer is not eligible for ITC of the same then that ITC shall not be taken by the taxpayers.

e) Unlike GSTR-2A, there is no need to wait for 20 minutes. The files are available for download and there is no requirement of generation of those files.

    HOW CAN WE TALLY AUTO POPULATED ITC DATA FOR THE MONTHS OF APRIL 2020 MAY 2020 JUNE 2020 AS GSTR 2B IS MADE AAVAIBLE FROM JULY ONWARDS ONLY PLS HELD

  2. Niraj PM says:

    For the month of September 2020, GSTR 2A shows invoice and gst details based on GSTR 1 filed by the supplier, but not showing in GSTR 2B for ITC availability. On verifying noted that the supplier has lately filed GSTR 1. In this scenario when we can claim ITC. Whether in the month of September 2020 (based on entry in GSTR 2A) or in the month when it reflects in GSTR 2B? Please clarify
