GSTN Portal: Generation of GSTR-2B for April 2021



Quick Summary
The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has announced that GSTR-2B for April 2021 will be generated on 29th May 2021. This is due to extended due dates for GSTR-1 and IFF filings for April 2021, which were moved to 26th and 28th May 2021 respectively. Taxpayers can still file their GSTR-3B for April 2021 before GSTR-2B is generated, based on self-assessment.

Rule-60(7) of CGST Rules-2017 prescribes for generation of auto-drafted statement containing the details of input tax credit in FORM GSTR-2B for counter-party recipients. As per Rule-60(8) of CGST Rules-2017, FORM GSTR-2B shall be made available to the recipients after the Due date of filing GSTR-1/IFF by the suppliers. Notification No. 12/2021-CT and 13/2021-CT, both dated 1st May 2021 extend the Due date of GSTR-1 and IFF for April 2021, to 26th and 28th May 2021, respectively. Consequently, GSTR-2B for April 2021 will be generated after the Due dates, on 29th May 2021.
