What this screen is for
GSTR-2A is an auto-populated statement of inward supplies: it is assembled from the returns your suppliers filed, not from anything you entered. This screen shows a whole financial year of it. Each month row carries a sync status, the date it was last synced, B2B and credit/debit note counts, the number of suppliers, taxable value, CGST, SGST, IGST and total ITC. A year-to-date panel totals the same columns, and clicking a month opens the detailed invoice data for that period.
When to use it
Use it to reconcile against your own purchase records before claiming input tax credit. The data covers B2B invoices, credit and debit notes, ISD, imports and TDS/TCS. Where a supplier's figures and your bills disagree, the two need investigating before the credit is relied on.
What you see on this screen
The header shows your GSTIN, the last sync time and the financial year in view.
Four tiles: Months Synced (of 12 months), Pending Sync, Total Invoices (supplier invoices) and Unique Suppliers (across all months).
Year-to-Date ITC Summary (Purchases) totals Taxable Value, IGST, CGST, SGST, CESS and Total ITC.
Monthly Sync Status is the main table, one row per month, with columns:
- Month
- Status — whether the period has been pulled
- Last Synced — when it was last refreshed
- B2B — count of business-to-business invoices
- CDN — count of credit and debit notes
- Suppliers — distinct suppliers in the period
- Taxable Value, CGST, SGST, IGST
- Total ITC — the credit the period makes available
- Action — View Details for that month
A Year Total row closes the table. Notes at the foot confirm the statement covers B2B invoices, credit and debit notes, ISD credits, imports, TCS and TDS.
Filters and actions
A Financial Year selector changes the year. Clicking any month row, or its View Details link, opens the detailed invoice data for that period and lets you sync it from the GST portal.
Status values
- Synced — the period has been pulled from the portal
- Not Synced — the period has not been pulled yet
- No Data — the portal returned nothing for the period
