Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims based on GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B figures. The user notes discrepancies between the amounts shown in GSTR-2A (Rs. 331,118) and GSTR-2B (Rs. 288,119) compared to their books (Rs. 331,119). The advice suggests that GSTR-2B includes invoices from previous months uploaded late, while GSTR-2A reflects current month invoices. The consensus leans towards claiming ITC as per GSTR-2B, as it's the department's preferred method, although claiming as per GSTR-2A might be acceptable if invoices appear there and will likely reflect in GSTR-2B next month.

If u r claiming itc of December month(assumed) ,itc as per 2A included only December invoices where as itc as per 2B may include December as well as other previous months invoices uploaded by vendor in December month,
so just check if u have covered all the invoices reflecting in both 2A and 2B for the month of December and claim likewise
Sir,
2B reflect only December month invoice and 2A also reflect December month, all invoice actually 2 vendors Filed his GSTR1 in after 12 January

The reason is that some of the filers might have filed their GSTR-1 late therefore they are reflecting in GSTR-2A but not in 2B. You can claim as per GSTR-2A if you want but the department is of the opinion that ITC should be claimed as per GSTR-2B

Dear Sir, if I claim ITC as per 2A can I face any issue because my tax liability is around 3.25 Lacs. and if I claim ITC as per 2B I have to pay around 37 thousands.

There shouldn't be much issue since it is getting displayed in gstr2a. Moreover they will also get displayed in gstr2b next month.

Thank you very much Sir,
