This will also facilitate  taxpayer in matching of their records\/invoices vis a vis issued by their  suppliers for availing the correct Input Tax Credit (ITC) and shall allow the  recipient taxpayers to either accept or reject an invoice or to keep it pending  in the system, which can be availed later\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This facility shall be  available to the taxpayer from 1st October onwards on the GST portal. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The said functionality would  be a major enhancement in the ITC ecosystem of GST. Now, only the accepted  invoices by the recipients would become part of their GSTR-2B as their eligible  ITC. Therefore IMS will provide the taxpayers an opportunity to review the  genuineness and authenticity of the received invoices. Once the suppliers save  any invoice in GSTR 1 \/ IFF \/ 1A \/the same invoice would be reflected in the  IMS dashboard of the recipient. A sample screenshot of the same is provided  below:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400px\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-01.png 924w, https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-01-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-01-768x355.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">3. The invoices reflect in  the IMS dashboard as shown in the picture above. The recipient can accept or  reject an invoice or can simply keep it pending in the system. These actions  can be taken from the time of saving the records in GSTR 1 \/ IFF \/ 1A by the  supplier taxpayer till the recipient taxpayer files his\/her corresponding  GSTR-3B. If recipient doesn&#8217;t take any action on an invoice in IMS then it will  be deemed accepted and will move to GSTR-2B as an accepted invoice. In case,  the supplier amends the details of a saved invoices in the GSTR-1 before filling  the GSTR-1, in such cases the amended invoice will replace the original invoice  in IMS, irrespective of the action taken by the recipient on the original  invoice.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">4. In case supplier has  amended any invoice filed in GSTR-1 through GSTR-1A then same will also flow to  IMS, however, ITC corresponding to the same will flow in GSTR-2B of the  recipient, generated for the subsequent month only. The invoices which would be  kept pending can be availed by taxpayers at any future point of time but not  later than the limits prescribed by Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017. All  the invoices\/ records reported or saved by the supplier taxpayer in their  GSTR-1 or IFF or GST-5 or GSTR-6 will be available in the IMS dashboard of the  recipient taxpayer for taking the actions. Supplier will also be able to see,  what action his recipient has taken on invoices in IMS.\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">5. Further, at the time of  generation of GSTR-2B only the filed invoices\/records by the supplier, will be  considered for the computation of ITC. Based on the current cut-off dates and  action taken by the recipient, a draft GSTR-2B will be made available to  recipient on 14th of the subsequent month as currently being generated.  However, the recipient will be free to take actions of accept\/reject or keep  pending even after generation of GSTR-2B till the filing of GSTR-3B. If  recipient taxpayers have taken an action on any invoice after 14th of the  month, then he would be required to recompute their GSTR-2B. However, they will  not be able to take any action after filing of GSTR-3B for the same month. It  may be noted that till GSTR-3B is filed by the taxpayer, GSTR-2B for subsequent  month will not be generated.\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">6. On the basis of action  taken by the taxpayer, invoices\/records can be categorized as mentioned below : \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">i. No action taken: These  are the invoices\/records where no action has been taken by the recipient these  will be treated as deemed accepted at the time of GSTR-2B generation; \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">ii. Accepted: There are the  accepted records and will be part of GSTR-2B generation; \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">iii. Rejected: These records  will not be considered for GSTR-2B generation; \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">iv. Pending: These records  will not be considered for GSTR-2B generation for the month, same will be  carried forward in IMS itself for further action in subsequent months. \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This functionality is a  facilitation for the taxpayers and will not add any compliance burden on the  taxpayers as No Action records shall be considered as Deemed Accepted and the  taxpayer&#8217;s intervention will only be required in case a record need to be Rejected  or kept Pending.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>QRMP Taxpayers<\/strong>: \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The records\/invoices saved  or filed through IFF by a QRMP taxpayer will flow to IMS for the recipient, and  will become part of GSTR-2B, as per action taken by the recipient in IMS on the  same. The GSTR2B of the recipient will be generated monthly, unless the  recepient is a QRMP taxpayer. It may be noted that GSTR-2B will not be  generated for Month M-1 and M-2 for QRMP taxpayer. GSTR-2B for a QRMP taxpayer  will be generated on Quarterly basis only.\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Flow of IMS<\/strong>: \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">All the outward supplies  reported in the GSTR 1 \/ IFF \/ 1A shall populate in the IMS of recipients for  taking the actions. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">1. <strong>Accept<\/strong> &#8211; Accepted records will become part of &#8216;ITC Available&#8217; section of respective  GSTR 2B. GST on accepted records will auto-populate in GSTR 3B as eligible ITC. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">2. <strong>Reject<\/strong> &#8211; Rejected records will become part of &#8216;ITC Rejected&#8217; section of respective GSTR  2B. ITC of rejected records will not auto-populate in GSTR 3B. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">3. <strong>Pending<\/strong> &#8211; Pending records will not become part of GSTR 2B and GSTR 3B. Such records will  remain on IMS dashboard till the time same is accepted or rejected. &#8216;Pending&#8217;  action shall not be allowed in following scenarios:\n  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">a.  Original Credit note \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">b.  Upward amendment of the credit note irrespective of the action taken by  recipient on the original credit note \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">c.  Downward amendment of the credit-note if original credit note was rejected by  recipient, \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">d. Downward  amendment of Invoice\/ Debit note where original Invoice\/ Debit note was  accepted by recipient and respective GSTR 3B has also been filed.\n  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">Below is a screenshot of IMS  dashboard showing summary of all inwards records and action taken thereon:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400px\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-02.png 943w, https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-02-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-09-02-768x376.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key points on IMS<\/strong>: \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">1. Deemed accepted: At the  time of GSTR 2B generation, a record will be considered as &#8216;Deemed Accepted&#8217; if  no action is taken on that record in IMS. \n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">2. It is mandatory to  recompute GSTR 2B from IMS dashboard in case of any change in action already  taken on concerned records or any action is taken after 14th of the month i.e.  date of generation of Draft GSTR-2B. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">3. Following supplies will  not go to IMS and will be directly populated in the GSTR 3B\n  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">a.  Inward RCM supplies where supplier has reported in the Table 4B of IFF \/ GSTR 1  or GSTR 1A and \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">b.  supplies where ITC is not eligible due to section 16(4) of CGST Act or on  account of POS rule. \n  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">4. Records will flow to IMS  dashboard at the time of saving of record by supplier in respective form and  recipient can take action on such record in IMS. However, such records will be  populated in the GSTR 2B after filling of return in GSTR-1\/IFF\/1A by the supplier. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">5. All the accepted\/ deemed  accepted\/ rejected records will move out of IMS dashboard after filing of  respective GSTR 3B. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">6. Pending records will  remain on IMS dashboard and these records can be accepted or rejected in future  months. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">7. It is mandatory to take  action on original record and file the respective GSTR 3B before taking action  on amended record (amended through GSTR-1A\/GSTR-1) when original and amended  record belongs to 2 different GSTR 2B return period. If both the records belong  to same period&#8217;s 2B, only amended record will be considered for ITC calculation  of GSTR 2B. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">8. Any change made in a  record\/invoice before filing GSTR-1\/1A\/IFF by the supplier will reset the  record&#8217;s status on recipient&#8217;s IMS dashboard. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">9. GSTR 2B will be sequential  now. i.e. system will generate GSTR 2B of a return period only if GSTR 3B of  previous return period is filed. \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">10. The liability of  supplier will be increased in GSTR 3B for the subsequent tax period, for the  invoices\/records which have been rejected by the recipient in the IMS for the  following transactions \n  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">a.  Original Credit note rejected by the recipient \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">b.  Upward amendment of the credit note rejected by the recipient irrespective of  the action taken by recipient on the original credit note \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">c.  Downward amendment of the credit note rejected by the recipient if original  credit note was rejected by him, \n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">d.  Downward amendment of Invoice\/ Debit note rejected by the recipient where  original Invoice\/ Debit note was accepted by him and respective GSTR 3B has  also been filed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024\/09\/03-09.png<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10044"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10044"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10055,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10044\/revisions\/10055"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.klickongstworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
