Since your eligible ITC (Rs 5.4 lakh) is not reflecting in August’s GSTR-2A, you cannot claim this ITC in August GSTR-3B. As per Section 16(2)(aa) of the CGST Act, you can only claim ITC for invoices that appear in your GSTR-2B for the relevant tax period.
2. For August 2025 GSTR-3B Pay your full output GST liability (Rs 9 lakh) in cash while filing GSTR-3B for August, since the ITC for the machine purchased will not be available in your GSTR-2B for August.
Do not claim the ITC of Rs 5.4 lakh in August.
3. September 2025 GSTR-3B Your ITC for the purchase (Rs 5.4 lakh) is now available in GSTR-2B for September.
Claim the ITC in your September GSTR-3B, which will allow you to set it off against September's liability, or, if you have less or no output tax in September, the balance ITC will carry forward as a credit for future periods.
