Fetch GSTR-2B from GSTN

Pull the auto-drafted GSTR-2B from the GST portal for any month into ThynkTax for reconciliation against your purchase register.

Fetch GSTR-2B from GSTN

GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted input tax credit statement generated by GSTN on the 14th of every month, based on what your suppliers filed in GSTR-1 / 1A.

When 2B is available

  • Generated on the 14th of every month for the previous tax period
  • For QRMP (quarterly) taxpayers, also generated on the 14th of the month following the quarter
  • Once generated, it does not change - even if suppliers amend their filings later (those changes flow into the next 2B)

Pull 2B into ThynkTax

GST → Reconciliation → New → 2B vs PR

  1. Choose client + period
  2. Click Fetch 2B from GSTN
  3. OTP - if this is the first 2B fetch this session, GSTN sends an OTP to the client's registered mobile. Enter it.
  4. The fetch takes 10-30 seconds. Once done, the 2B appears alongside your Purchase Register for the same period.

What 2B contains

  • B2B invoices - accepted by your suppliers in their GSTR-1
  • CDN - credit notes / debit notes
  • ISD - input service distributor credits
  • Import of services
  • Import of goods (from SEZ)

What 2B does NOT contain

  • Invoices your suppliers haven't filed yet → these show up only in 2A (the live mirror)
  • RCM (reverse charge) self-invoices - those are in your own books, not 2B
  • ITC on advance receipts

After fetching

Move to Run 2B vs Purchase Register reconciliation to match the two sides.
