The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has released an advisory concerning potential discrepancies between Table 8A and Table 8C in the GSTR 9 annual return for the Financial Year 2023-24. For this FY, Table 8A will auto-populate credit from GSTR-2B, whereas Table 8C requires manual entry for ITC availed in the next financial year. The advisory clarifies that a mismatch is expected compared to FY 2022-23 due to the shift from GSTR-2A to GSTR-2B, leading to inflated values in 8A for the previous year and lower values for the current year.
As per Notification No 12/2024 Central Tax dated 10th July 2024 read with Notification No.20/2024-Central Tax Dated 8th October 2024, for FY 2023-24 onwards, the total credit available for inwards supplies shall be auto-populated in the table 8A of Form GSTR 9 from GSTR-2B of the FY 23-24. Further, in table 8C of Form GSTR-9 total value of ITC on inwards supplies received during the FY but availed in next FY up to specified period, need to be filled manually.

FAQ :
For FY 2023-24, Table 8A auto-populates credit from GSTR-2B, while Table 8C is for manually entered ITC availed in the next FY. This change from FY 2022-23 (which used GSTR-2A) causes an expected mismatch, with 8A appearing higher for the previous year and lower for the current year.
If an invoice is dated FY 23-24 but the supplier reports it after the March '24 due date, it won't auto-populate in Table 8A. You should report this ITC in Table 8C and Table 13 of your GSTR 9 for FY 23-24.
If ITC for FY 23-24 was reversed due to non-payment within 180 days and reclaimed in FY 2024-25, this reclaimed ITC should be reported in Table 6H of GSTR 9 for FY 24-25, not in Table 8C or Table 13 for FY 23-24.
For invoices belonging to FY 2023-24 where goods weren't received, leading to ITC claimed and reversed, but then reclaimed in FY 2024-25, this reclaimed ITC should be reported in Table 8C and Table 13 of GSTR 9 for FY 2023-24.
No, if an invoice from FY 22-23 appears in Table 8A of your FY 23-24 GSTR 9 (due to late filing by the supplier), you should not report it in Table 8C or Table 13. This ITC pertains to the previous financial year.
