1 return form through Apps by10thday of month succeeding the month during which

only on the basis of the details uploaded by the counter-party purchaser in GSTR-2,
upto 17th day of the month. (i.e. within a period of 7 days). In other words, the supplier
would not be allowed to include any missing invoices on his own after 10th day of the
month.
G S TN will fac ilitate pe r iodic (may be daily, we e kly e tc .) upl oad of suc h
infor mation to mini m iz e last minute load on the syste m. G S TN will fac ilitate
offline pr e par ation of G S TR-1.
22
Step2: G S T Common Portal (GSTN) will auto-draft the provisional GSTR-2 of taxpayer based
on the supply invoice details reported by the counter-party taxpayer (supplier) on a
near real-time basis.
Step3: Purchasing taxpayer will accept / reject/ modify such auto-drafted provisional GSTR-2.
(A taxpayer will have the option to download his provisional purchase statement from
the Portal or through Apps using Application Programming Interface (APIs) and update
/ modify it off-line).
Step4: Purchasing taxpayer will also be able to add additional purchase invoice details in his
GSTR-2 which have not been uploaded by counter-party taxpayer (supplier) as
described in Step 1 and 2 above, provided he is in possession of valid invoice issued by
counter-party taxpayer and he has actually received such supplies.
Step5:Taxpayers will have the option to do reconciliation of inward supplies with counter-
party taxpayers (suppliers) during the next 7 days by following up with their counter-
party taxpayers for any missing supply invoices in the GSTR-1 of the counter-party
taxpayers, and prompt them to accept the same as uploaded by the purchasing
taxpayer. All the invoices would be auto-populated in the ITC ledger of taxpayer. The
taxpayer would, however, indicate the eligibility / partial eligibility for ITC in those
cases where either he is not entitled or he is entitled for partial ITC.
Step 6: Taxpayers will finalize their GSTR-1and GSTR-2 by using online facility at Common
Portal or using GSTN compliant off-line facility in their accounting applications,
determine the liability on their supplies, determine the amount of eligible ITC on their
purchases and then generate the net tax liability from the system for each type of tax.
