how to report the difference of ITC as per GSTR-2A in table 8 of GSTR-9 in 9C

Thanks in Advance

07 July 2024 When preparing GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C, it is crucial to reconcile the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed in the books of accounts with the ITC available as per GSTR-2A. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to report the difference of ITC as per GSTR-2A in Table 8 of GSTR-9 and in GSTR-9C:

### Step-by-Step Guide

#### 1. Understand Table 8 of GSTR-9
Table 8 of GSTR-9 deals with the reconciliation of ITC. The table is divided into several parts, but for our purpose, the relevant sections are:

- **Table 8A**: ITC as per GSTR-2A.
- **Table 8B**: ITC as per GSTR-3B (auto-populated).
- **Table 8C**: ITC on inward supplies (other than imports and inward supplies liable to reverse charge but includes services received from SEZs).
- **Table 8D**: Difference (8A - (8B + 8C)).
- **Table 8E**: ITC available but not availed.
- **Table 8F**: ITC available but ineligible.
- **Table 8G**: Total ITC to be lapsed (Sum of 8E + 8F).

#### 2. Reconciliation of ITC

To reconcile the ITC as per GSTR-2A and GSTR-3B, you need to follow these steps:

1. **Download GSTR-2A**: Download the GSTR-2A for the relevant financial year from the GST portal.
2. **Compare with Books**: Compare the ITC available in GSTR-2A with the ITC claimed in GSTR-3B and as per your books of accounts.
3. **Identify Differences**: Identify the differences between the ITC available in GSTR-2A and the ITC claimed in GSTR-3B.

#### 3. Report in Table 8 of GSTR-9

- **Table 8A**: This is auto-populated with the ITC as per GSTR-2A.
- **Table 8B**: This is auto-populated with the ITC as per GSTR-3B.
- **Table 8C**: Enter any ITC on inward supplies (other than imports and inward supplies liable to reverse charge but includes services received from SEZs).
- **Table 8D**: This is the difference between the ITC as per GSTR-2A and the ITC claimed in GSTR-3B plus any inward supplies.
- **Table 8E and 8F**: Report any ITC that was available but not availed, and ITC that was ineligible, respectively.
- **Table 8G**: This is the total ITC to be lapsed (the sum of 8E and 8F).

#### 4. Reporting in GSTR-9C

GSTR-9C is the reconciliation statement and certification that requires detailed reconciliation of ITC between the books of accounts and the GST returns. Here's how to report the differences:

1. **Part IV - Table 12**: This table deals with reconciliation of ITC.
- **Table 12A**: ITC availed as per audited financial statements.
- **Table 12B**: ITC booked in earlier Financial Years claimed in the current Financial Year.
- **Table 12C**: ITC booked in the current Financial Year to be claimed in subsequent Financial Years.
- **Table 12D**: ITC availed as per audited financial statements or books of accounts (12A + 12B - 12C).

2. **Part V - Table 14**: Reconciliation of ITC declared in annual return (GSTR-9) with ITC availed on expenses as per audited financial statements or books of accounts:
- **Table 14T**: Total ITC claimed (auto-populated).
- **Table 14U**: ITC as per GSTR-9 (Part IV of the form).
- **Table 14V**: Unreconciled ITC.

3. **Auditor's Recommendation**: The auditor should provide observations and recommendations for the unreconciled differences.

### Practical Steps

1. **Gather Data**: Collect all the relevant data from GSTR-2A, GSTR-3B, and your books of accounts.
2. **Reconcile**: Perform a detailed reconciliation of ITC as per GSTR-2A and GSTR-3B.
3. **Document Differences**: Clearly document any differences identified.
4. **Report Accurately**: Fill in the relevant sections of Table 8 of GSTR-9 and the appropriate tables in GSTR-9C.
5. **Auditor's Certification**: Ensure the auditor reviews and certifies the reconciliation in GSTR-9C.

### Example

Suppose the ITC as per GSTR-2A is ₹10,00,000, but the ITC claimed in GSTR-3B is ₹9,50,000, and there are no other adjustments:

- **Table 8A**: ₹10,00,000 (auto-populated).
- **Table 8B**: ₹9,50,000 (auto-populated).
- **Table 8C**: ₹0 (if no inward supplies from SEZs or others).
- **Table 8D**: ₹50,000 (auto-calculated as 8A - (8B + 8C)).
- **Table 8E and 8F**: Enter any available but not availed or ineligible ITC if applicable.
- **Table 8G**: Total ITC to be lapsed, if applicable.

In GSTR-9C, reconcile these amounts and ensure any differences are appropriately explained and certified by the auditor.

By following these steps, you can accurately report the difference of ITC as per GSTR-2A in Table 8 of GSTR-9 and in GSTR-9C.
