Difference in Input Tax Credit GSTR 9

During the time of filing GSTR 9 17-18 we added missing bills of 17-18 in 18-19 and shown the same input in column- 8 per government rule. But now while filing GSTR-9 of 18-19, input claimed is more than GSTR-2A and the difference is exactly the same bills as stated above...
Where to show the input ??

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue in GSTR 9 filing where input tax credit claimed in the current year includes bills from a previous financial year. The original poster added missing 2017-18 bills to their 2018-19 GSTR 9, causing a difference with GSTR-2A. Advice suggests reconciling ITCs monthly in Excel and notes that while no specific disclosure is mandatory in GSTR 9 for such variances, documentation will be needed if the department questions the difference. Ensuring all conditions under Section 16 of the GST Act are met is crucial.

Reconcile both the year itc months wise in excel sheet as on Gstr1 then
as on GSTR9

There is no need to disclose such variance anywhere in GSTR 9. In Table 8 value as per GSTR 2A would be lower. If questioned by dept. reasoning with documentation would require to be furnished. 

Ensure all conditions of Sec 16 are satisfied to prove that the credit has rightly accrued to you.
