The GST portal does not offer a direct option to download a consolidated annual GSTR-3B return. So, one needs to download GSTR-3B for each month/quarter at a time.
Reason for Change:
The shift in the GSTR-2B generation date is a result of extended deadlines for filing GSTR-1 (sales return) and GSTR-3B (summary return) for December 2024. These extensions of two days were announced under Notifications No. 01/2025 and 02/2025, issued on 10th January 2025.
When Is GSTR-2B Generated? GSTR-2B is generated after furnishing details of GSTR-5, GSTR-6, and IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility) which is due by 13th of every month. This means that GSTR-2B can be accessed on or after 14th of every month. Normal taxpayers and SEZ can access this statement and download the same.
The amount of ITC claimed in a tax period cannot be more than ITC available for claims in GSTR-2B. Therefore, any ITC missed reporting by your supplier can be communicated promptly to avoid delays in ITC claims. Report the final ITC eligible values to be claimed in Table 4 of GSTR-3B.
