Resolving Gaps Between GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B Data



Quick Summary
If you're encountering issues with your GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B data, such as discrepancies or a missing GSTR-2B, you can resolve these by re-computing your GSTR-2B. This involves logging into the Input Management System (IMS) dashboard, reviewing records, taking action on them (like accepting or rejecting), and then clicking the 'Compute GSTR-2B' button. After recomputation, it's crucial to review the updated GSTR-2B, check its auto-population into GSTR-3B, and cross-check both returns to ensure accuracy before filing.

If you have observed that there are discrepancies between GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B or GSTR-2B is not generated, then you can re-compute it by following these steps:

Access the IMS Dashboard

  • Login to the Input Management System (IMS) dashboard.
  • Review the records that are displayed to identify the potential issues.
