GSTN advised taxpayers not to avail ITC on same invoice appearing twice in GSTR-2B

According to Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), a small number of taxpayers (supply recipients) have reported seeing the same invoice twice in GSTR 2B for the months of April and May 2022.

GSTN strongly urged that taxpayers do not claim ITC on the same invoice twice. A solution to the problem would be implemented as soon as possible.

Form GSTR-2B is an auto-populated (system-generated) statement that reflects input tax credit information. The statement is generated automatically on the 12th of the following month. GSTR-2A is generated automatically depending on the details/information provided by the supplier, seller, or counterparty.
