When to claim ITC

359 views 7 replies

What is the difference between GSTR2A and GSTR2B?  I know that they are auto-loaded from the data of GSTR1 filed. Our purchase invoices sometimes appear in GSTR2B but not in 2A. When to claim ITC? When invoices appear in GSTR2A or GSTR2B?

In GSTR-2A the invoices will be auto populated from the corresponding month's GSTR-1.
In GSTR-2B invoices are uploaded from the corresponding month's GSTR-1 if it is filed by 11th otherwise it will show in the next month's GSTR-2B.

@ Mr. Zafar

What is important to claim ITC? Should we claim ITC only after the purchase invoices appear in GSTR2B?

Yes its better to compare with GSTR-2B. Gives you better control over reconciliations

@ Shankar,

For Apr and May, you may claim ITC based on invoices. For June, max ITC that can be claimed is 105% of GSTR2B (to be cumulatively applied from Apr to Jun21).

In general, 105% of value as per GSTR2B can be claimed as ITC as per rule 36(4).

Yes you can claim ITC by GSTR 2A also but need to deposit Interest on invoices not be reflected by due date.

So it's better to claim ITC by 2B .
Purchase bill stock alredy sales but how can claim in next month stock position negetive view how ????

@ Sateesh Kumar

I think you can maintain your books - sales, stock and purchse registers normal way. Probably month wise. But you need to claim ITC only after your supplyer files Gstr 1 and it appears in your Gstr 2 b. It is only fair that govt can give you Itc only after getting the gst from your supplyer. We register  purchase bills as and when we receive. But we have a column in the pur register to enter the month in which we claim ITc.
