a) Document Date irrespective of Return Period
b) Return period irrespective of Document Date
For eg. , we want to look up a document with -
Document Date irrespective of Return Period - We have to look up a document dated "09-10-2019", then we will select Document Date filter as "2019-2020" irrespective of the return period the document was filed.
Return period irrespective of Document Date - We have to look up all invoices filed in Return period October 2019 to December 2019 irrespective of the document date, then we select Return period from "October 2019 to December 2019" and Document Date filter as "ALL".
Include the following:
Taxable Value of ALL Sections included Tax Amount of all sections included except for "B2B Supplies for RCM", "Export without payment", "SEZ without payment" and "Exempt, Non-GST and Nil - Rated Supplies" Bifurcate into Outward supplies for Current and Additions related to Previous Month Take the net of amendment documents [ AMENDMENT - ORIGINAL]
GSTR MM3B filed report contains:
Details of Outward Supplies and inward supplies liable to reverse charge Eligible ITC Values of exempt, Nil-rated and non-GST inward supplies Interest & late fee payable Total tax payable Total taxes through cash and ITC Net payable Supplies made to Unregistered Persons Supplies made to Composition Taxable Persons.
Clear Tax automatically computes the tax payable during the month or quarter by first considering ITC of IGST before moving onto CGST or SGST. Entire unutilized IGST credit wholly to either CGST or SGST liability. A taxpayer can utilize IGST credit in any proportion and in any order, but the condition is to completely utilize the IGST credit before using CGST or SGST credit.
As per old rule, A taxpayer must begin with set-off process starting with ITC of IGST and utilise it completely before proceeding to utilise the ITC of CGST or ITC of SGST.
Balance ITC available under CGST and SGST/UTGST shall be allocated optimally to help you get maximum benefit. It ultimately keeps your cash outflow minimum possible.

Tax paid after due date Excess ITC Claimed or excess reduction in Output Tax
It will help you in knowing the differences in respect of outward supplies between GSTR-1, 3B and Books of accounts and resolving the same while filing GST returns.
You can check the difference in totality as well as at a section level(defined as per 3B) by looking into Column D and E. If there is any difference in totality or at a section level you can accordingly add/reduce/ammend the value in GSTR-1 or 3B as the case maybe.
Click on "Compare with GSTR-1" under other options in GSTR-3B to know the differences before filing the GSTR-3B return.
Section level summary provides the details of each category from GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B which is mainly divided as:
Outward taxable supplies (other than zero rated, nil rated and exempted) Zero rated Supplies Other outward supplies (Nil rated, exempted & Non-GST).
If you ingest your sales data in Cleartax for preparing G-1 or 3B or for Reconciliation then that information will appears as data as per books of accounts.
This will help you in claiming your full Input tax credit(ITC) and also reverse any excess ITC claimed. Before filing GSTR-3B this report can be helpful for reconciliation purpose to avoid any potential demand notices from the tax authorities.
This report helps in identifying the difference in ITC as per GSTR 3B, eligible ITC as per GSRT 2B and the books of accounts imported into ClearTax. It also shows the maximum ITC available to registered supplier as per rule 36(4) according and thus helps in ensuring compliance and avoiding any further liability in form of interest, penalty etc. from tax authorities.
If you will ingest your purchase data in ClearTax for preparing G-3B then that information will appear as data as per books of accounts.
As per rule 36(4), a taxpayer while filing GSTR-3B can claim maximum Input Tax Credit (ITC) only to the extent of 105% of the eligible credit available in GSTR-2B. We calculate the Maximum ITC available to registered suppliers only by taking the Minimum of ITC claimed as per Books or 105% of GSTR 2B (All other ITC minus reversals if any). For calculating the provisional ITC as per GSTR-2B for Registered suppliers, we do not include unregistered supplies, ISD, RCM and IMPORT OF GOODS AND SERVICES.
In this report the data is represented in 3 color slabs which is significant in helping the user to read the data easily. The returns that are filed and populated from Govt portal are shown in Green color. The data that is based on ingested values in ClearTax and not filed are shown in White color whereas the differences are shown in Red color.
This report will help in identifying PAN Level differences between GSTR 1 & GSTR 3B, w.r.t Outward Supplies and help claim full liability in subsequent GST returns and even avoid potential demand notice from tax authorities.
The excel report will have two sections : PAN Level Summary and Business Summary(GSTIN Level). Further report provides an additional trail of various document types and subtypes of GSTR 1 & GSTR 3B(section level information). User can also identify cumulative difference for all the filed return periods of a selected financial year.
It is summation of Outward Supplies (a) + Amendment (b).
Here Amendment = Amendment value - Original value.
The source of information for this report is Filed GSTR 1 & Filed GSTR 3B of the said return periods. User can compare the values with the existing report, GSTR 3B vs 1 vs Books.
No, this report provides only Summary level information. For Document level information, please download PAN GSTR 1 Filed Report.
Section level summary provides the details of each category from GSTR 1 & GSTR 3B which is mainly divided as -
Outward taxable supplies (other than zero rated, nil rated and exempted) Zero rated Supplies Other outward supplies (Nil rated, Exempted & Non-GST)
Following are the reasons why ClearTax report is more accurate than government report and hence the data in some cases does not tally:
Unlike in government report, section 4(A)3 - Inward supplies liable to reverse charge is not included in ClearTax report because the section contains invoices for both Registered and Unregistered dealers. Invoices for registered dealers are present in 2A records but invoices for unregistered dealers are not present in 2A records, hence we should not consider this section in the calculation. Similarly Section 4B(1) and 4B(2) are not included in calculation because 2A summary considers the total tax amount before the ITC reversal, similarly, all other ITC in 3B summary should also have the tax amount before the tax reversal.
Invoices irrespective of place of supply and my GSTN are considered for apple to apple comparison. Some invoices such as Hotel tariff bills will be shown in the 2A invoices but will not appear in GSTR-3B summary (blocked ITC)
Taxpayer is not entitled to avail of the credit of taxes paid in respect of certain goods or services, even if these goods or services are used in the course or furtherance of business in accordance with Section 17(5) of CGST Act.
Yes, both CT 3B vs 2A and Govt 3b vs 2A reports consider Part 4D(1) and (2) - Ineligible ITC for 3B summary calculation of this report.

In Part III (Table 8) of GSTR 9 we reconcile any difference between our ITC availed in GSTR 3B and that available in GSTR 2A.This report will provide month on month ITC comparison making it simpler for filing annual return
Table 8A in the annual Form GSTR-9 return contains details of the total input tax credit (ITC) available during the financial year from inward supplies. Inward supplies here includes all purchases made including services received from SEZs, but excludes imports and inward supplies liable to reverse charge. The ITC data will be auto-populated in this table on the basis of the Tables 3 and 5 of Form GSTR-2A, . The accurate reporting of ITC data in Table 8A helps the taxpayer claim accurate ITC for that financial year. This table is not editable Table 8A is very important from an ITC claim perspective
B2B-Regular along with amendments, CDN, TDS along with amendments, TCS, ISD are present. Except for import of goods from overseas and SEZ units all the data is presented in this report that is available from GSTN.
Below Logic are to be used for comparing MM2A report with other reports -

PAN Level Multi-month GSTR-2B is an auto-drafted ITC statement that is generated for every registered person on the basis of the information furnished by their suppliers in their respective Form GSTR-1/5 and ITC received through Form GSTR-6 including data from all GSTINs under a PAN.
Form GSTR-2B should be used by taxpayers to take the right input tax credit in respective sections of Form GSTR-3B.
Form GSTR-2B will be generated for each month on the 12th day of the succeeding month. For example, for the month of July 2020, the statement will be generated and made available to the registered person on 12th August 2020.
Example: Form GSTR-2B consists of all documents filed by suppliers/ISD in their Form GSTR-1, 5 & 6, between 00:00 hours on 12th day of preceding month to 23:59 hours, on 11th day of current month. Thus, statement generated on 12th of August will contain data from 00:00 hours of 12thJuly to 23:59 hours of 11thAugust.
This report is based on GSTR 1/5/6 Filed status of the supplier and includes data on account of Import of Goods via ICEGATE system for clients guidance.
The details filed in Form GSTR-1 & 5 (by supplier) & Form GSTR-6 (by ISD) would reflect in the next open Form GSTR-2B of the recipient irrespective of supplier’s/ISD’s date of filing. For e.g., if a supplier files a document INV-1 dt. 15.07.2020 on 11th August, it will get reflected in GSTR-2B of July (generated on 12th August). If the document is filed on 12th August, 2020 the document will be reflected in Form GSTR-2B of August (generated on 12th September)
No, you cannot make any changes or add document to the Form GSTR-2B, as it is a read-only static ITC statement.
Taxpayers are advised to ensure that the data generated in Form GSTR-2B is reconciled with their own records and books of accounts. Taxpayers must ensure that:
No credit is availed twice for any document under any circumstances. Credit is reversed as per GST Act and Rules in their Form GSTR-3B. Tax on reverse charge basis is paid

Know the tax liabilities on outward supplies and reverse charge as well as the break-up of Tax paid using Input Tax Credit and cash. This helps the taxpayer to keep a record, analyze and even reconcile the data from books of accounts.
This report is generated from GSTR-3B filed data.
Include the following -
Outward taxable supplies : Both Taxable Value and Tax amount included.
Zero rated : Both Taxable Value and Tax amount included.
Nil, exempt : Only Taxable Value Included.
Inward RCM : Neither Taxable Value nor Tax amount included.

Taxable Value of all sections is included
Tax Amount of all sections included except for "B2B Supplies for RCM", "Export without payment", "SEZ without payment" and "Exempt, Non-GST and Nil - Rated Supplies"
Outward supplies for Current Month means "month whose values user is trying to match" and for Additions related to Previous Month means "months previous to the month user is trying to match values".
Eg. June 2019 = Current month (for which user is trying to match values) April, May, March 2019 = Previous months.
To identify the Amendments related to previous months in GSTR-1 Filed report, look up all sections related to amendments i.e., B2BA, B2CLA, B2CSA, EXPA, CDNRA and CDNURA and map to the month in which amendment has been made.
To identify the Original documents corresponding to such amendments in GSTR-1 Filed report , look up all sections related to original documents for previous months i.e., B2B, B2CL, B2CS, EXP, CDNR and CDNUR as per the ‘Original Invoice Number’ and ‘Original Invoice Date’ provided in amendment details. Map these original values to the month in which amendment has been made.
Take the net of amendment documents [ AMENDMENT - ORIGINAL ]
For eg. , we want to look up a document with -
Document Date irrespective of Return Period - We have to look up a document dated "09-10-2019", then we will select Document Date filter as "2019-2020" irrespective of the return period the document was filed. Return period irrespective of Document Date - We have to look up all invoices filed in Return period October 2019 to December 2019 irrespective of the document date , then we select Return period from ""October 2019 to December 2019"" and Document Date filter as "ALL".
The ClearTax calculation does not match with the Govt. calculation primarily for the following reasons:
ClearTax does not consider ISD and TDS invoices in 2A data while Govt does ClearTax report is available on Invoice date level while Govt report is on Return Period level Invoices where Place of supply and my GSTIN does not match are not being considered
Step 1 - Download MM2A report - [Invoice - CN + DN]
Step 2 - apply following filters (FOR ALL DOCUMENTS) -
Invoice Date level
GSTIN = MY GSTINS
ISD = YES
TDS = YES
Invoices irrespective of place of supply and my GSTIN are considered for apple to apple comparison. Some invoices such as Hotel tariff bills will be shown in the 2A invoices but will not appear in GSTR3B summary (blocked ITC).
Taxpayer is not entitled to avail of the credit of taxes paid in respect of certain goods or services, even if these goods or services are used in the course or furtherance of business in accordance with Section 17(5) of CGST Act. Yes, both CT 3B vs 2A and Govt 3b vs 2A reports consider Part 4D(1) and (2) - Ineligible ITC for 3B summary calculation of this report.

Table 8A in the annual Form GSTR-9 return contains details of the total input tax credit (ITC) available during the financial year from inward supplies. Inward supplies here includes all purchases made including services received from SEZs, but excludes imports and inward supplies liable to reverse charge. The ITC data will be auto-populated in this table on the basis of the Tables 3 and 5 of Form GSTR-2A.
The accurate reporting of ITC data in Table 8A helps the taxpayer claim accurate ITC for that financial year. This table is not editable Table 8A is very important from an ITC claim perspective.
The CBIC released an important notification on 9 October 2019, inserting a new sub-rule (4) under rule 36 of the CGST Rules, 2017.
The rule states that the provisional tax credit (without invoices on GSTR-2A) can be claimed in the GSTR-3B only to the extent of 10%* of eligible ITC reflected in the GSTR-2A. Hence, the total ITC that can be claimed in GSTR-3B is 110% of the eligible ITC appearing in the GSTR-2A of a particular period
B2B-Regular along with amendments, CDN, TDS along with amendments, TCS, ISD are present. Except for import of goods from overseas and SEZ units all the data is presented in this report that is available from GSTN.
Below Logic are to be used for comparing MM2A report with other reports:
GSTR-2A View & Download: Basis return Period level Includes both filed and not-filed documents TDS/ISD value is included
GSTR-3B V/s 2A: Basis invoice date level Includes only filed documents TDS/ISD value is not included
Table 8A of GSTR-9 (GSTR-2A Summary): Basis invoice date (for FY 2018-19) upto 30.09.2019 filed by supplier till 31.10.2019 Includes only filed documents
Reconciliation: Basis invoice date level Includes only filed documents
Table 8A of GSTR-9 V/s PR: Only amended documents are considered in case the documents are amended except when the GSTIN is amended
Table 8A in the annual Form GSTR-9 return contains the details of total input tax credit(ITC) available during the financial year from inward supplies. Inward supplies here includes all the purchases other than imports and inward supplies liable to charge reverse charge but includes services received from SEZs.
This report gives a return period wise 'Transaction summary' along with the complete data of B2B and CDN documents including amended documents.
The ITC data will be auto-populated in this table on the basis of the Tables 3 and 5 of Form GSTR-2A, which in turn is auto-populated from the returns filed each month by the business entity's suppliers in their Form GSTR-1. It also includes tax credits distributed by their non-resident suppliers in Form GSTR-5.
Following reasons are:
Filed Invoices: Check if the supplier had 'filed' the said invoices or not as figures in GSTR-2A are auto-populated from G-1.
Annual Cut off date : Check if the supplier filed 'after' the due date because figures in 8A auto-populate from GSTR-1 filed by the supplier before the due date of its filing i.e., 30th April 2019. Thus, ITC on supplies of the financial year 2017-18, if reported beyond 30th April 2019, will not get auto-populated in table 8A of form GSTR-9.
Amendments : Check invoices across 2As to account for amendments in form GSTR 1 because only the latest values of invoices have been auto-populated based on filed Form GSTR-1, taking into account all the amendments made.
