Main Difference Between GSTR-2A & GSTR-2B

The registered person reconciles its purchase invoices with the available Input Tax Credits (ITCs) reflected in GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B using GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B. The GSTR-2A and GTSR-2B must be understood for this purpose.

GSTR-2B - This is an auto-drafted statement of GST input tax credit

There is significant information included in the above-referred statement regarding inward supplies as well as input tax credits. Understanding the differences between these two statements is crucial since they cover the same information.

It is the purpose of this article to discuss the differences between GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B in detail.
