What is GSTR-2B?

GSTR-2B is a monthly statement of input tax credit that the GST portal generates for each registered taxpayer. It lists the purchase invoices your suppliers have reported in their returns and shows how much credit is available to claim.

GSTR-2B explained

It is generated for each return period from the invoices suppliers reported by the filing cut-off. Under the GST law, input tax credit can generally be claimed only for invoices that appear in GSTR-2B.

Reconciling GSTR-2B with your own purchase register each month shows which suppliers haven’t filed, which invoices are missing or mismatched, and how much credit you can safely claim in GSTR-3B.

How ARC PEM helps

ARC PEM keeps your GST purchase register and reconciles it against the GSTR-2B you download from the GST portal. See all features.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B?
GSTR-2A updates continuously as suppliers file. GSTR-2B is a monthly statement generated for a fixed period, and it is the one used to decide how much credit to claim in GSTR-3B.
