If the hotel bill-related input tax is blocked under GST provisions, that would explain why it reflects in 2B (which is just based on supplier filing) but does not allow ITC claim in 3B, resulting in the "red mark" error when manually added.
Hence, verifying the nature of the expenses on the hotel bill and their eligibility for ITC as per GST Section 17(5) is important before claiming ITC.
