Steps
- On the GST portal, open Returns → GSTR-2B and download the JSON file.
- In Expense Manager, click GSTR-2B, then Upload GSTR-2B.
- Enter the Period (YYYY-MM), choose the GSTR-2B JSON File and click Upload & Reconcile.
- Each period shows Total ITC, Matched, Unmatched and Match %. Click View to see its invoices.
- Filter by All, Matched, Unmatched or Amount Mismatch. A mismatch means the bill's GST differs from the portal by more than ₹1.
- For an unmatched invoice, add the bill in Expense Manager or ask the supplier about it.
Good to know
It compares only with bills entered in Expense Manager, by supplier GSTIN and invoice number. A supplier bill recorded anywhere else shows as Unmatched, so check before you chase the supplier.
Uploading the same period again replaces the old file and matches afresh, so add the missing bills and upload again.
