What this GSTR-2B reconciliation tool does

2B vs purchases

Match GSTR-2B against your purchase register, invoice by invoice, for accurate ITC.

Probable matches

Exact invoice matching first, then partial matching to catch near matches automatically.

Export to Excel

Download matched, probable and unmatched entries as a clean Excel workbook.

Private & browser-only

All reconciliation runs locally in your browser — files are never uploaded to a server.

What this tool does

GSTR-2B is the static ITC statement and the basis for your input tax credit claim — this tool matches it against your purchases. It is generated on the 14th of each month on the official GST portal. Download the GSTR-2 Excel format.

  • Match GSTR-2B against GSTR-2 (purchases, credit & debit notes) to verify ITC.
  • Exact invoice matching first, then partial matching — e.g. VCRPL/23-24/326 in 2B matches 326 in purchases for the same GSTIN.
  • Matched data is shown in green, while unmatched data is shown in red.

Frequently asked questions

What is GSTR-2B reconciliation?

GSTR-2B reconciliation is the process of matching your auto-drafted GSTR-2B statement against your purchase register, invoice by invoice. It confirms which purchases your suppliers have reported so you claim the correct input tax credit (ITC).

Why match GSTR-2B with purchases for ITC?

GSTR-2B is the static ITC statement and is the basis for claiming input tax credit. Matching it with your purchases ensures you claim ITC only for invoices that appear in 2B, and helps you follow up with suppliers on invoices that are missing or mismatched.

Does the tool show partial or probable matches?

Yes. The tool first matches on the exact invoice number, then does partial matching. For the same GSTIN, if an invoice is VCRPL/23-24/326 in GSTR-2B but only 326 in your purchases, it is still matched and shown under probable matches.

What file formats can I upload?

Upload the GSTR-2B JSON file downloaded from the GST portal, and your purchase register as JSON or XLSX. You can upload multiple files in each section, and download the GSTR-2 Excel format to structure your purchase data.

Is my GSTR-2B data safe?

Yes. All reconciliation happens locally in your browser. Your GSTR-2B and purchase files are never uploaded to or stored on any server, so your data stays private.

Can I export the reconciliation result to Excel?

Yes. After matching, click the Download Excel button to export the full reconciliation — matched, probable and unmatched entries — into an Excel workbook for your records or further review.

Can I claim ITC on a purchase invoice that is not in GSTR-2B?

Generally no. Under Rule 36(4), input tax credit can be claimed only on invoices that appear in your GSTR-2B. If a purchase invoice is missing, follow up with the supplier to report or amend it, then run the reconciliation again.
