GSTR-2B Duplicate Issue : What to Do with Duplicate ITC?



Quick Summary
The GSTR-2B system is currently experiencing a duplicate Input Tax Credit (ITC) issue, where the same ITC is appearing more than once in the October 2024 statement. This often stems from system errors or filing mistakes, particularly with data from September 2024's IFF returns under QRMP incorrectly carrying over. To resolve this, taxpayers should avoid claiming the duplicate ITC if already claimed in September and refrain from rejecting the entries in the Invoice Management System.
