GSTR-2B year wise download system

Though software year-wise GSTR -2B can be downloaded 

The year-wise GSTR-2B download option on the GST portal lets you pull a consolidated ITC statement for the full financial year - useful for GSTR-9 reconciliation.

How to access it:
1. Login to gst.gov.in
2. Go to Services > Returns > GSTR-2B
3. Select the financial year (not just a month)
4. Download the JSON or Excel file for the full year

Post-April 2026, the IMS (Invoice Management System) interacts with GSTR-2B. If you have taken IMS actions (accept/reject invoices), your year-wise GSTR-2B will reflect only accepted and pending invoices. Rejected invoices will not appear in your ITC eligible column.

For GSTR-9 filing: compare your year-wise GSTR-2B total with what you claimed in GSTR-3B. Any gap where you claimed MORE than the GSTR-2B total needs to be reversed via DRC-03.
