B2B Purchase invoices reflecting properly in GSTR2A but NOT IN GSTR2B

We are seeing that some of our supplier invoices are NOT part of the GSTR2B while they are seen in the GSTR2A for the same month. 

Should claim the ITC as per GSTR2A or as per GSTR2B??

If we claim ITC as per GSTR2B then what happens to the invoices missing? will the ITC reflect in next month's GSTR2B automatically ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue where B2B purchase invoices appear in GSTR2A but are missing from GSTR2B. The consensus advises claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) as per GSTR2B, as this is the officially recommended and auto-populated format for GSTR-3B. Invoices not reflected in GSTR2B can typically be claimed in the following month's GSTR2B, simplifying reconciliation, especially for businesses with numerous transactions.

I may 2b input have a take
Claim ITC from GSTR-2A, same will be reflected in GSTR-2B of next month.

Thank you. So, I should edit the numbers of auto-drafted GSTR-3B and claim ITC as per GSTR2A ? Because the auto-drafted GSTR-3B is reflecting as per GSTR-2B which is missing invoices. 

 

Yes, correctly understood.

Its best that you follow one system. 

It is advisable that you take ITC as per GSTR-2B. ITC which is not being shown can be claimed in next month. This method eases reconciliation and it is recommended where there are number of transactions (purchases)

Where you have less purchases then you can claim as per GSTR-2A
