AI summary
What GSTR-2B contains and how it differs from GSTR-2A.
4 sections
What it is
A static monthly statement of ITC available to you, generated on the 14th of the next month, based on your suppliers' GSTR-1/IFF, ISD (GSTR-6), imports (ICEGATE) and your actions in the Invoice Management System (IMS).
GSTR-2A vs GSTR-2B
| GSTR-2A | GSTR-2B |
|---|---|
| Dynamic — changes every time a supplier files | Fixed for the month once generated |
| For reference | Basis for ITC in GSTR-3B |
