Match purchase invoices with GSTR-2B and claim only the ITC your suppliers reported
Match purchase invoices with GSTR-2B and claim only the ITC your suppliers reported
GST Reconciliation matches the purchase invoices in your books against GSTR-2B, fetched from the GST portal or uploaded as JSON, so you find missing and mismatched invoices before you file GSTR-3B. The same screen also matches your sales invoices against GSTR-1.
Fetch GSTR-2B or upload the JSON
Start a reconciliation straight from the GST portal for a month, or drop in the GSTR JSON you downloaded, and SmartLedger matches it in the background.
- From GST Portal uses your linked GSTIN, verified once with an OTP
- From File takes the GSTR JSON and reads the period from it
- GSTR-2 matches purchases; GSTR-1 matches your sales
- Reconciliation History shows each run as Processing, then Completed, with its match rate
See exactly where books and GSTR-2B differ
The report puts each invoice from the return beside the matching entry in your books, with the variance, match rate and a clear status.
- Matched, Missing in books, Missing in GST or Manual Match
- Total value, tax value, GSTIN and place of supply mismatches flagged separately
- Entries Processed, Variance Amount, Issues and Avg. Match Rate at the top of the report
- Filter entries by All, Pending, Reconciled or Issues
Confirm the right match side by side
Open any entry to compare the GST JSON and SmartLedger values field by field, and pick the closest invoice from your books.
- Smart Match lists the closest candidate invoices from your books
- GSTIN, place of supply, invoice number, amounts and each tax compared side by side
- Confirm Match or Update Match, or Remove Match to undo it
- Bills Missing in books: record the purchase invoice, then run a new reconciliation
Check your sales against GSTR-1 too
Choose GSTR-1 as the type to match your sales invoices against the return data, with the client in place of the vendor.
- The same statuses, filters and side-by-side comparison as for purchases
- Spot sales invoices missing from the return, or reported with a different GSTIN, place of supply or tax
- Every run sits in Reconciliation History with its GSTR type and period
- Overview tiles track total reconciled, pending, overdue and average match rate
Know how much input credit is at risk
Your latest purchase reconciliation feeds the GST Summary, so you see which credit is safe to claim before you prepare GSTR-3B.
- Cash & credit splits ITC into safe to claim and at risk once you reconcile
- An alert flags the month's purchase invoices that don't match GSTR-2B
- Bills Missing in GST point to suppliers who haven't reported them in their GSTR-1
- ITC reconciliation also counts towards the GST Summary's compliance score
