GST ITC Reco

Whether we can take ITC as per 2A or as per 2B. Is it compulsory to take credit as per GSTR 2B only or can we take ITC as per GSTR 2A. Since we have quite a few suppliers who file their GST return after due date and such ITC is visible only in 2A and not in 2B.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the crucial difference between claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) based on GSTR 2A versus GSTR 2B. While GSTR 2B offers a more streamlined reconciliation, some businesses face issues with suppliers filing late, making their ITC visible only in GSTR 2A. The thread suggests that while GSTR 2B is generally preferred for ease, using GSTR 2A is possible but requires more detailed month-to-date and year-to-date reconciliations.

For a longer period and easier reconciliation it is better to use GSTR 2B. But, if significant ITC arises after due date filing, then can take GSTR 2A but this will require MTD (month to date) and YTD (Year to date) reconciliations. 

GSTR 1 monthly due date - 11th; Quarterly - 13th. Suggest to take GSTR 2B on 14th
