GSTR-2A
Auto-drafted, dynamically-updated statement of inward supplies, generated from suppliers' GSTR-1 filings.
What it means
GSTR-2A is a read-only statement that shows every purchase invoice your suppliers have reported in their GSTR-1. It updates dynamically — whenever a supplier files or amends their GSTR-1, your GSTR-2A reflects the change. It's the primary source for verifying which purchases are eligible for ITC.
GSTR-2A is dynamic and continues to update for past months. For point-in-time ITC reconciliation, taxpayers now rely more on GSTR-2B (the static monthly version).
How Easedesk handles GSTR-2A
Easedesk auto-fetches GSTR-2A from the GSTN portal and reconciles it against your purchase register. Mismatches (missing invoices, amount differences, HSN errors) are flagged with one-click follow-up to the supplier. ITC claims are gated by 2A/2B verification.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B?
GSTR-2A is dynamic (changes when suppliers amend); GSTR-2B is static (snapshot on the 14th of each month). GSTR-2B is now the legal basis for ITC claims; GSTR-2A is informational and used for reconciliation.
