If you claim ITC on a bill that your vendor has not reported in their GSTR-1, the ITC will eventually be disallowed by the GST department with interest and penalties. ITC reconciliation in Zoho Books identifies these gaps before you file GSTR-3B, so you can chase vendors to file their returns or hold the ITC claim until the vendor complies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Performing ITC Reconciliation in Zoho Books<\/h2>\n<p>Download the GSTR-2B JSON file from the GST portal for the relevant period. In Zoho Books, go to Reports, GST Reports, and select GSTR-2B Reconciliation. Upload the JSON file. Zoho Books automatically matches each entry in GSTR-2B against the bills recorded in Zoho Books. The result shows three categories: matched invoices (ITC safe to claim), invoices in Zoho Books but not in GSTR-2B (ITC at risk), and invoices in GSTR-2B not yet recorded in Zoho Books (bills you may have missed).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Acting on Reconciliation Gaps<\/h2>\n<p>For invoices in Zoho Books but not in GSTR-2B, contact the vendor and request them to file their GSTR-1 with the missing invoice. Until the invoice appears in GSTR-2B, hold the ITC or file a provisional claim with appropriate disclosure. For invoices in GSTR-2B not in Zoho Books, verify with your team whether the bill was received and not yet entered, or whether it is an error by the vendor in their filing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Industry:<\/strong> IT Services \u2014 A Pune IT firm reconciles ITC every month before filing GSTR-3B. In October, the reconciliation shows INR 45,000 in ITC claimed in Zoho Books but not appearing in GSTR-2B from three vendors. The team contacts all three vendors. Two file their GSTR-1 within a week. The third is dropped from the approved vendor list after repeated non-compliance.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/input-tax-credit-itc-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Input Tax Credit<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/gstr-3b-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">GSTR-3B<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/gstr-1-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">GSTR-1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/bill-zoho-books\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Bill<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is ITC Reconciliation in Zoho Books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ITC reconciliation in Zoho Books compares your purchase records against GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B from the GST portal to ensure every ITC claim is supported by your vendor&#8217;s GSTR-1 filing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>How do I perform ITC reconciliation in Zoho Books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go to Reports, GST Reports, select GSTR-2B Reconciliation, and upload the JSON from the GST portal.
