ITC View

The purpose of this report is to provide comparative analysis of ITC for a return period as it appears in GSTR 2A and how it reconciles with ITC in GSTR 2B.

GSTR 2B was introduced in July 2020. It is a static statement which includes invoices once the return is filed by the vendor. GSTR 2A has been there since 2017 and includes invoices as soon as uploaded by vendor on GST system. Read more about GSTR 2A and 2B here.

The ITC report consists of

  • Summarised view of ITC as per GSTR 2A, adjustments on account of late filing, non-filing and arrive at ITC as per GSTR 2B. ITC as per GSTR 2B is further analysed based on eligibility.
  • For each of the adjustment category, drill-down to vendor level is available. You can identify who are the vendors not yet filed or have done late filing.
  • Finally, for each of the vendor, the details of invoices can be checked.

ITC report represents one return period at a time and is available for previous 6 months from the latest GSTR 2B available. As GSTR 2A is a dynamic statement and gets updated as and when vendors file the return for previous periods, for the month which you viewing, you can fetch updated data for GSTR 2A and the report will get re-computed.

GSTR 2A and 2B contain invoices according to sections i.e. invoices, debit note, credit notes, amendments etc. The main summary is computed for regular invoices net of credit and debit notes. For checking ITC related to other sections, apply filter and select the desired section.
