In a major relief to the taxpayers, the new feature has been updated on the GST Portal wherein the taxpayer can claim the Input Tax Credit (ITC) even when it is not displayed in GSTR-2A or 2B.
In order to help importers of goods, and recipients of supplies from SEZ, search Bill of Entry details, which did not auto-populate in GSTR-2A, a self-service functionality has been made available on the GST Portal that can be used to starch such records in GST System, and fetch the missing records from ICEGATE.
It is noteworthy that it usually takes 2 days (after the reference date) for BE details to get updated on GST Portal from ICEGATE. This functionality should, therefore, be used if data is not available after this period. Note: The reference date would be either Out of charge date, Duty payment date, or amendment date-whichever is later.
For records of type IMPG (Import of Goods), details of Period for Form GSTR-2A (system generated Statement of Inward Supplies); Reference Date; Bill of Entry Details like Port Code, BoE Number, BoE Date & Taxable Value; and Amount of Tax would be displayed.
For records of type IMPGSEZ (Import of Goods from SEZ), details of Period for Form GSTR-2A; Reference Date; GSTIN of Supplier; Trade Name of Supplier; Bill of Entry Details like Port Code, BoE Number, BoE Date & Taxable Value; and Amount of Tax would be displayed.
Taxpayers are advised to confirm correct details either from BE documents or using the ICEGATE portal
