A business is seeking urgent advice on when to claim GST input credit for purchases from vendors who file their returns quarterly. The input credit isn't reflecting in their GSTR2A for December if the vendor files after the 31st. The query is whether to claim this credit in the December or January GSTR3B, considering potential changes to GSTR2A if the vendor files before January 31st.

There are some vendors filing their return on quarterly basis. As the due date is 31st for them in our Dec 2A the input credit of the same is not reflecting. What to do whether to claim such input of oct-Dec in Dec GSTR3B or claim in Jan GSTR3B. As if they will file return before 31st Jan then again GSTR2A of Dec will change.

It doesn't matter when your supplier filed GSTR 1. Its his/her choice, you always have to take credit in GSTR 3B as per actual purchase invoice date
