Why Monthly GSTR-2B Reconciliation Protects Your Input Tax Credit
Since credit is allowed only for invoices that appear in your GSTR-2B, a mismatch between your books and 2B can turn into a demand notice months later.
A five-step monthly routine
- Download GSTR-2B after the 14th of the month
- Match it invoice by invoice against your purchase register
- Follow up with suppliers who have not filed their GSTR-1
- Claim only matched credit in GSTR-3B
- Keep a log of pending invoices and claim them once they appear
Our clients get this reconciliation every month as part of the GST compliance desk, with a list of suppliers to chase.
