GSTR-2B VS 3B RECONCILIATION

GSTR-2B vs GSTR-3B, reconciled automatically

The gap between the input tax credit auto-populated in your GSTR-2B and the ITC you actually claimed in GSTR-3B is where most GST trouble starts. BooksIQ lines them up invoice by invoice so the difference is never a surprise.

Why the 2B ⇄ 3B check matters

Claim more than your 2B supports and you risk reversal and interest; claim less and you leave working capital on the table. BooksIQ shows both sides and the eligible figure after the Rule 36(4) cap.

  • ITC claimed in 3B vs credit available in 2B
  • Supplier invoices missing from 2B (credit not yet safe)
  • Rule 36(4) cap applied automatically
  • A clear, fileable eligible-ITC number

Frequently asked questions

How is the eligible ITC calculated?

BooksIQ matches your purchase register to GSTR-2B, excludes credit not reflected there, and applies the Rule 36(4) cap to arrive at a safe, claimable figure.

Can I see which invoices are the problem?

Yes — the reconciliation is invoice-level, so you can see exactly which supplier documents are missing or mismatched.
