GSTR-2B plays a pivotal role in helping businesses claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) accurately and efficiently under India’s GST regime. As a static, auto-drafted statement generated monthly on the GST portal, GSTR-2B provides taxpayers with a clear, document-wise summary of eligible and ineligible ITC based on the invoices, debit/credit notes, and returns filed by suppliers in GSTR-1, GSTR-5, and GSTR-6. Unlike the dynamic GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B remains unchanged for a given period, offering a stable reference point for reconciliation and eliminating the confusion caused by late supplier filings or amendments.

This stability is crucial for businesses, as the ITC available for claim in GSTR-2B cannot be exceeded in a tax period. Taxpayers must reconcile their purchase register and other records with GSTR-2B before filing GSTR-3B, ensuring that only eligible ITC is claimed and ineligible credits are reversed as required by GST law. The summary in GSTR-2B clearly distinguishes between ITC that can be availed and that which must be reversed, guiding businesses toward compliant and error-free tax filings.

GSTR-2B’s document-level details—covering invoices, credit/debit notes, and amendments—enable thorough verification and help identify mismatches early. This not only reduces the risk of claiming ineligible credits but also minimizes the chances of notices or penalties from tax authorities due to discrepancies. By providing a consistent, structured overview of ITC, GSTR-2B simplifies monthly GST reconciliation and enhances the accuracy of ITC claims, supporting better cash flow and compliance for businesses.
