Complication in generating GSTR-2B

This query is : Resolved 

17 January 2025 My GSTR-2B is not generated as I have filed previous month's GSTR-3B after the cut-off date for generation of GSTR-2B for current month. Now how can I generate my GSTR-2B; I have tried it in selecting relevant invoices in IMS portal but still not able to generate GSTR-2B, please suggest.

12 August 2025 Hey! I understand the hassle with GSTR-2B not generating due to late filing of previous month’s GSTR-3B. Here's what’s happening and what you can do:

Why is GSTR-2B Not Generating?
GSTR-2B is generated automatically by the GST portal on the 13th of every month based on your supplier’s GSTR-1 filings and your GSTR-3B filing status.

If you file your previous month’s GSTR-3B after the cut-off date (13th), the GSTR-2B for the current month will not be generated automatically.

The portal locks the GSTR-2B data generation window to maintain consistency, so late filing blocks it.

What Can You Do Now?
1. File GSTR-3B for Previous Month ASAP
File the pending GSTR-3B for the previous month immediately if not done.

But this won't generate GSTR-2B retrospectively for the current month automatically.

2. Manual Selection in IMS Portal
IMS portal sometimes allows manual invoice selection to generate a customized GSTR-2B report.

If you tried and failed, it might be a system or data sync issue due to late filing.

3. Wait for Next Month’s GSTR-2B
GSTR-2B is month-specific and static. It won’t regenerate for a past month.

But your ITC for delayed invoices might reflect in next month’s GSTR-2B.

4. Use GSTR-2A as an Alternative
GSTR-2A is dynamic and updated daily with your suppliers’ filings.

You can use GSTR-2A for reconciliation and ITC claim if GSTR-2B is unavailable.

5. Contact GST Helpdesk
If the issue persists, raise a ticket at GST portal Helpdesk or contact your GST practitioner.
