GSTR-1 vs 2B vs Books: Why Your ITC Never Matches (And How We Fix It)
12 Aug 2026

ITC mismatches usually come from 3 places: vendor didn't file, invoice date vs return period confusion, or books vs portal timing.

Our flow

  1. Pull 2B monthly, lock books on the 2nd
  2. Match by GSTIN + invoice number (not amount)
  3. Flag: vendor not filed β†’ follow up, not your ITC loss

Growth clients get this checked monthly β€” not just at year-end.
