GST scrutiny 2019-20 and onwards

is there any prescribed sop has been given by CBIC for gst scrutiny for FY 2019-20 and onwards. I have received notices regarding diff in 3B and R1 and 3B and 2A.
What documents they accept in these cases.
Earlier in case of 3B-R1 : Audited FS and Affidavit

in case of 3B-2A : Declaration/CA certificate, invoices and payment proof.

These documents are enough for 19-20, 20-21or something else are also recommended by cbic.

please share circular number also in this regard.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses queries regarding GST scrutiny for the financial year 2019-20 onwards, specifically concerning notices for differences between GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, and GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A. While there isn't a formal SOP from CBIC for audits, for 3B-R1 discrepancies, reconciliation with reasons and copies of relevant returns are advised. For 2A-3B mismatches, a CA certificate might be accepted for 2019-20, but from 2020-21, proving tax payment by the supplier is crucial, referencing Circular No. 193/05/2023.

Refer Circular No.193  /05   /2023 dated 17 May 23 for 2A vs 3B mismatch.

Thanks 🙂

There is no notified SOP for conducting audit. In case of difference between GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 kindly provide the reconciliation with reasons, copy of GST returns, copy of GSTR-9 and 9C.

In case of difference between GSTR-2A and GSTR-3B, certificate can be given for FY 2019-20 however, from FY 2020-21, department may not accept certificate in the absence of any circular. However, if you can prove that tax has been paid by the supplier, then you can try to defend the ITC availed.
