Filing of 3B for March 20

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A business is seeking advice on filing their March 2020 GSTR 3B return. They are unable to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) as it's not yet reflected in their GSTR 2A, due to suppliers delaying their GSTR 1 filings. The query asks if they can proceed with filing and claiming ITC now, or if they must wait for suppliers to file. The advice given is that, due to the COVID-19 situation, it is permissible to file the GSTR 3B and avail the ITC even if it's not yet reflected in GSTR 2A.

19 May 2020 Sir,

We are yet to file GSTR 3B for the month of March 2020, because, the ITC on our purchases for that month is not reflected in our GSTR 2A. When we enquired our suppliers regarding this, they told that, it will take some time for them to file their GSTR 1, as they are yet to settle down with their routine work.

As such, can we file our 3B return, availing the ITC, even if it is not reflected in our 2A right now, since it will be uploaded by our suppliers in due course ?

Or, should we necessarily wait for our suppliers to file their GSTR 1.

Pls. advice.

19 May 2020 Yes, you can file your 3B return, availing the ITC, even if it is not reflected in our 2A right now. It's allowed now due to the current situation of Covid 19.
