Healthcare Hospitals, diagnostic chains and professional clinics operate at the junction of GST exemptions, composite supplies, charitable trust conditions and high cash-to-bank risk. Engagements emphasise revenue completeness, 194J professional payments, and trust/section 10/12AB compliance where applicable. Manufacturing Manufacturing clients typically combine high GST volume, inventory valuation judgements, MSME payment cycles and plant-level internal control. Our work centres on statutory audit coordination, ITC integrity, cost records where prescribed, and transfer of benefits under industrial incentive schemes — documented as professional procedures, not as outcome guarantees. Real Estate & Infra Real estate and infrastructure mandates involve project-wise WIP, RERA collections, GST on works contracts, joint development agreements and large TDS/TCS surfaces (194-IA, 194R, 206C). We organise documentation so statutory audit, tax audit and RERA reporting speak from the same schedules. Retail / E-Commerce Retail and marketplace sellers face TCS under section 52 of the CGST Act, high-volume reconciliations, inventory shrinkage and marketplace settlement lags. Our procedures focus on GSTR-1 vs platform reports, 194-O where relevant, and cut-off between principal and agent supplies. Startups & Tech Early-stage and growth-stage technology companies need clean cap-table hygiene, ESOP accounting, GST on cross-border SaaS, and investor-grade MIS. We support Virtual CFO cadences, due-diligence data rooms and Section 80-IAC / DPIIT documentation where the client is eligible — eligibility is always fact-specific.

GSTR-2B integrity: a working-paper checklist before GSTR-3B

SKA Indirect Tax Desk · 7 min read

Input tax credit remains the most frequently examined line in departmental audits. A disciplined GSTR-2B versus books reconciliation, completed before GSTR-3B offset, reduces notice exposure and preserves a defensible working-paper trail.

Practices we recommend: freeze the 2B snapshot on a named date; tag ineligible credits (blocked under section 17(5), Rule 42/43 reversals, and place-of-supply mismatches); and document vendor follow-up where IRNs exist but 2B is blank. Credit should not be taken solely because an invoice is in the accounts.

This note is educational. Confirm the latest GST Council / CBIC circulars before applying any position to a live return.

विभागीय अंकेक्षण में इनपुट टैक्स क्रेडिट सबसे अधिक जाँची जाने वाली पंक्ति है। जीएसटीआर-3बी ऑफसेट से पहले अनुशासित जीएसटीआर-2बी बनाम बही समाधान नोटिस जोखिम घटाता है और रक्षा योग्य कार्यपत्र तैयार करता है।

अनुशंसित अभ्यास: नामित तिथि पर 2बी स्नैपशॉट फ्रीज करें; अपात्र क्रेडिट चिह्नित करें (धारा 17(5) के अंतर्गत अवरुद्ध, नियम 42/43 रिवर्सल, और आपूर्ति-स्थान असंगतियाँ); और जहाँ आईआरएन हो किंतु 2बी रिक्त हो वहाँ विक्रेता अनुवर्ती दस्तावेजित करें। केवल इसलिए क्रेडिट न लें कि चालान बहियों में है।

यह टिप्पणी शैक्षणिक है। किसी जीवित रिटर्न पर स्थिति लागू करने से पहले नवीनतम जीएसटी परिषद / सीबीआईसी परिपत्रों की पुष्टि करें।
