GSTR-2B has been launched on the GST Portal from July 2020 onwards.
It is not a Return but a static report of GSTR2A of invoices uploaded by supplier *uptil 11th of the subsequent month.
Thus it’s similar to GSTR-2A with some exceptions.
Key features of GSTR-2B:
• It is an auto-populated static ITC statement which will clearly show “ITC available and not available” for every invoice monthly.
• It will be updated once a month on 12th of every succeeding month.
For example, GSTR-2B generated on 12th September 2020 shall contain invoices uploaded and filed by suppliers between 12th August 2020 to 11th September 2020.
• GSTR-2B also contains info on Imports from other countries and SEZ’s
• Invoices will be marked as ITC Not Available in two cases:
A. If the supplier files the invoice after 30th September of succeeding year of invoice i.e. Section 16(4).
B. If POS is different from the recipient state.
• GSTR-2B provides an option to search invoice and to request statement over an e-mail.

GST QUERIES
Q1. What is the time limit specified in GST law to issue debit note? Understand there is no end timeline but what is the right time as per to issue Debit note.
✅ There is no such provision in law specifying the right time to issue debit note.
Q2. I have a query, one of my client who has availed credit by taking ITC in 3b subsequently he found that it was intelligible instead of reversing in3b they have offset the reversal amount in books ITC and claimed only net in 3 b in the subsequent year what will be the impact of this
✅ In our opinion the correct way to reversal the credit is by showing it under Table 4B of GSTR-3B instead of reducing from the credit especially when it pertains to other Financial year.
Q3. ITC for FY 2019-20, wrongly claimed in 3b of Telangana instead of Maharashtra...can it be corrected in annual return?
✅ The time limit for availment of credit as per the provisions of Section 16(4) of CGST Act is the due date of filing the GST l Return for the month of September of the next financial year to which this invoice elate or the date of filing the annual return for that financial year,whichever is earlier. There is no time limit for reversal of credit. Since the time for claiming credit for FY 2019-20 is the due date of filing return of September 2020, the mistake can be rectified by availing credit in the state of Maharashtraand reversal has to be done in the state of Telangana along with interest.
If you wish to rectify through annual return then credit cannot be claimed in the state of Maharashtra but it is to be reversed in the state of Telangana along with payment of Interest.
Q4. A taxable person supplied services to a PSU. He believed that these were exempted from 2017-2018. At the time of filing of 9C for 17 18,objection was raised by auditor that these services are not exempt. They paid the full tax using DRC-03. Now can the service provider issue tax invoices now (as he has not done till now as per Rule 46) and pass on the tax to the recipient?
✅ If the service provider intends to issue tax invoices in order to pass on the tax to the recipient it would be of no help. As per the provision of Section 16(4) which is given here for quick reference, credit cannot be availed by recipient for the Financial Year 2017-18.
“A registered person shall not be entitled to take input tax credit in respect of any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after the due date of furnishing of the return under section 39 for the month of September following the end of financial year to which such invoice or invoice relating to such debit note pertains or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier.”
Q5. There is query for export...
Invoice date is of July 2020 and Shipping bill date for export is of Aug 2020
(1) Is it part of GST return of which month July 2020 or Aug 2020?
(2) In tally also in which month to be entered July 2020 or Aug 2020?
✅ Invoice Date of July 2020 is to be considered in the case of both GST return (to be reflected in the month of July 2020 itself) and tally as well.
