Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the common issue of GST officers denying Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the financial year 2017-18 if the invoices are not reflected in GSTR-2A. While legally ITC cannot be denied solely on this basis, officers often insist on it. To prove your claim, you'll need to demonstrate that your supplier has paid the GST and filed their returns, even if there were discrepancies like invoices filed under B2C. Providing GSTR-1, invoices, and other supporting documents, along with detailed written submissions, is crucial. This is a widespread problem, and you may need to pursue litigation if the officer remains uncooperative.

Legally not valid to deny ITC on the basis of GSTR-2A. However as you said the department is insisting on reversal of ITC. You will have to go through litigation and possibly till High Court levels to get the demands quashed

GSTR-2A vs ITC concept has come little later . So he can't deny ITC . But you must prove that the supplier has paid GST and filed GSTR
ITC can not allowed by him because data not available in the gstr2A.If the dealer uploaded his invoices for filing Gstr -1 related to his outward supply for the financial year 2017-18 . His customer may claim ITC. His supplier is liable to pay gst on undisclosed turnover with penalty and interest for such periods.
There is quite possible that supplier may file few invoices under B2C which might be reason for not appearing in 2A

Officer may deny credit since it is not reflecting in GSTR-2A.However you shall provide GSTR-1 filed by your supplier along with Invoicing and other documents to satisfy the genuiness of the transaction 

You may explain all practical issues of any

File detailed submissions before him in case he has initiated proceedings either in the form of ASMT-10 or DRC-01. Make legal as well as factual arguments. Before that reconcile the input claimed as per 3b and books and also find out if any missing invoices reflected in subsequent period i.e. 2018-19. It is  a nationwide problem, and a litigation prone matter.
