GSTN provides an interim solution to Incomplete GSTR-2B issue
This is the time for filing of GSTR-3B Returns and this time taxpayers were facing a new issue while doing Input Tax Credit (ITC) matching for filing their Returns.
The issue was that in certain cases the Invoice of the vendor was not reflected in GSTR-2B even if the GSTR-1 was filed on Time and with correct Invoice details.
Now as per the GST Law, ITC for the Invoice not reflected in GSTR-2B cannot be taken and this was a matter of worry for the Taxpayer. A huge created buzz was created by Taxpayers and Professionals on Twitter as well discussing this issue. Some of the Tweets are as given below:
Mr. SUDHIR HALAKHANDI, a Chartered Accountant and a GST Professional Wrote “GSTR-2B will be generated at 5 pm on 14th. 15th is Sunday, then the days given for GSTR-3B have been reduced Further. He further suggested that “Get this month’s ITC matching done next month so that enough time can be given for GSTR-3B.”
GST- GSTR-2B 14 की शाम 5 बजे जेनरेट होगा।15 Sunday है तो फिर GSTR-3B के लिए दिए हुए दिन और कम हो गए हैं जब कि हम 11 तारीख़ को ही इसके लिए तैयार हैं।
सुझाव -इस माह की ITC मेचिंग को अगले माह करवाइये ताकि GSTR-3B के लिए पर्याप्त समय मिल सके।@FinMinIndia @cbic_india @Infosys_GSTN— सुधीर हालाखंडी Sudhir Halakhandi (@Sudhirhalakhndi) May 15, 2022
Mr. Abhishek Raja Ram, a Chartered Accountant, and a GST Professional Wrote highlighted through a meme that the non-availability of accurate data in GSTR-2B will lead to the Double payment of Goods & Service Tax (GST)

Some Tax Professionals also requested the Government to reduce the GSTR-3B Due Date:
I can bet the govt won't extend the filling 3B dates 😂
When they didn't extend a mere complaince due date, how can you even think they would extend GSTR-3B dates when the whole revenue would come thru 3B 😂😂
Govt wants us to make mistake

In the meanwhile, GSTN has finally released an Advisory providing the relief.
1. It has been noted that certain records are missing from the GSTR-2B statement for the month of April 2022 in a few situations. Such records, however, are visible in the GSTR-2A of such beneficiaries.
2. The technical team is trying to rectify this issue for the affected taxpayers as soon as possible and generate new GSTR-2B forms.
3. In the meantime, impacted taxpayers who want to file GSTR-3B should use GSTR-2A to file the return on a self-assessment basis.
The inconvenience this has caused is truly regretted.
Now the question is, if this advisory will be accepted by GST Officer at time of doing Audits & Assessment?
