Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about input tax credit, GSTR-2B reconciliation, ITC eligibility, supplier mismatches, reversals and GST reporting.

Input Tax Credit is the credit of eligible GST paid on purchases of goods or services used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of business. Eligible registered taxpayers may use this credit towards payment of their output tax liability, subject to the conditions and restrictions prescribed under the CGST Act and Rules.

ITC reconciliation is the process of comparing input tax credit reflected in GSTR-2B with purchase registers, supplier invoices and ITC reported in GSTR-3B. It helps identify missing invoices, duplicate entries, reporting differences and credits requiring further eligibility verification.

GSTR-2A is a dynamic auto-drafted statement that can reflect supplier-reported changes as they are furnished. GSTR-2B is a static auto-drafted ITC statement generated for a particular tax period. GSTR-2B is used as an important reference for ITC reporting in GSTR-3B, along with independent checks of statutory eligibility.

No. An invoice appearing in GSTR-2B does not automatically make the credit eligible. The taxpayer must independently verify the applicable conditions under Section 16, restrictions under Section 17, receipt of supply, prescribed documents, supplier reporting and other relevant requirements before availing the credit.

Verify the invoice details and check whether the supplier has correctly reported the document in GSTR-1 or the applicable invoice furnishing facility. Follow up with the supplier for correction or reporting. ITC should not be claimed merely because the purchase invoice is available in the buyer's records; applicable statutory conditions must be satisfied.

Blocked ITC refers to input tax credit that is specifically restricted under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, even where GST has been charged on the purchase. Certain motor vehicles, specified goods and services, personal consumption and other listed categories may be restricted, subject to statutory exceptions.

Under the second proviso to Section 16(2) read with Rule 37, where the recipient fails to pay the supplier the value of supply along with tax within 180 days from the invoice date, the applicable proportionate ITC is required to be paid or reversed along with applicable interest. The credit may generally be re-availed after payment to the supplier, subject to the prescribed conditions.

Rule 37A deals with ITC reversal where the supplier has reported an invoice in GSTR-1 or through the invoice furnishing facility but has not filed the corresponding GSTR-3B by the prescribed date. The recipient may be required to reverse the applicable credit by the prescribed deadline, with provision for re-availment if the supplier subsequently files the relevant return.

Under Section 16(4), ITC on an invoice or debit note generally cannot be taken after 30 November following the end of the relevant financial year or the date of furnishing the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. Specific statutory exceptions and special provisions may apply depending on the case and tax period.

No. Reconciliation helps identify differences, verify supporting records and assess potential ITC eligibility. The final entitlement depends on the taxpayer's actual transactions, supporting documents, supplier compliance and applicable GST provisions. No credit approval or favourable departmental outcome can be guaranteed.
