Answer ID : 80752

GSTR2A is the statement of outward supplies declared by your suppliers in their GSTR1. Rule 36(4) requires that for availing ITC, it should be reflected in your 2A subject to 10% extra. 2A is dynamic. GSTR2B is the statement of eligible and ineligible ITC. It includes the IGST paid on imported goods also. From Aug'20 it is made available, henceforth if you follow 2B, you are not required to to do ITC reco with 2A from year to date, since it is static.

In addition, please note that 2B is not prescribed in the law presently. It is only as a facilitation form to enable easy reconciliation of the credit. Maybe once it gets positive feedback from the trade and industry, it may be made a statutory form for the reconciliations.
