GST · a statement, not a filing

GSTR-2B is not a return you file

GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted input-tax statement for a tax period. It is usually available around the 14th. You confirm it. You do not submit it. The office is at 515 Trichy Road, Singanallur.

Quick answer

This page is when the statement appears. A missing invoice stays on the GSTR-2B mismatch page. The returns stay on the 11th and 20th page. Do not send the GST password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

When it appears

GSTR-2B is usually available around the 14th. 14 October 2026 has passed. The next window people look for is around 14 November. Confirm the statement for that period on the GST portal. A holiday can move what you see by a day or two. The 14th is not a due date for a return you submit.

Table 4 of GSTR-3B may bring in figures from GSTR-2B. Check Table 4 before you file. For many monthly filers, GSTR-1 is the 11th and GSTR-3B the 20th. The optional Invoice Furnishing Facility is the 13th, on the IFF page. None of those is GSTR-2B.

What you still check

Do not claim input-tax credit for an invoice that is absent from GSTR-2B. Section 16(2)(aa) requires the supplier's details to be in GSTR-2B before that credit is taken. That check stays on the mismatch page. A GSTIN on QRMP does not skip the statement. Those quarterly rows are on the QRMP page. Form DRC-01C, when the difference between GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B crosses the limit in the notification, is also on the mismatch page. A reply there is due within 7 days of the form.

Before GSTR-3B is filed

1. Open the statement for the period on the GST portal, once it is available.
2. The desk compares it with the purchase register. A missing invoice is marked, and it is not claimed.
3. You approve the draft. GSTR-3B is filed after that approval.
4. The acknowledgement is shared after the portal accepts the return.

Monthly GST filing starts at ₹500 on the Coimbatore GST filing page. The quote is confirmed before filing. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.

Common questions

Do I file GSTR-2B on the 14th?

No. GSTR-2B is an auto-drafted statement. It is usually available around the 14th. You do not submit it. Confirm the statement for that period on the GST portal.

Has the October window passed?

14 October 2026 has passed. The next window people look for is around 14 November. A holiday can move what you see by a day or two. Confirm the period on the portal.

Is the 14th the same as the IFF on the 13th?

No. The 13th is the optional Invoice Furnishing Facility for a GSTIN on QRMP. GSTR-2B is the input-tax statement. A monthly filer still uses the 11th and the 20th for the returns.
