To get the GSTR-2B for a full financial year, log in to the GST Portal, navigate to Services > Returns > Returns Dashboard, and select the specific financial year. You must download the PDF or Excel report for each month (April to March) individually, as the portal does not provide a single file for the entire year at once. GSTR-2B is generated on the 14th of the following month.

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.
Pending GSTR-3B Filings: If a taxpayer has not filed their GSTR-3B for the previous period, GSTR-2B will not be generated. For instance, if September 2024's GSTR-3B is pending, October 2024's GSTR-2B will not be generated until the pending return is filed.
