This discussion addresses a mismatch between input tax credit (ITC) reported in GSTR-2A and GSTR-3B during the annual return filing. The user has a higher ITC in GSTR-3B than GSTR-2A but possesses valid invoices. Advice suggests filing the annual return as is, reconciling with suppliers, and preparing invoices in case of a departmental notice, as initial discrepancies might be accommodated for the first year.

I think you are bound to receive a notice from the department, but I think for the first year credit would be allowed based on invoice. even though the law says tax should have been paid, it is better you keep the invoice ready and defer payment of tax and interest. just file it as it is.
