Procedure to file GSTR-2

 

After submitting GSTR-1 (details of outward supplies), taxpayers are required to submit GSTR-2. GSTR-2 is a return that includes information on all incoming supplies.  A taxpayer can claim The Input Tax Credit that is established based on this return. The information about the inbound supplies is automatically filled out in GSTR-2A when your suppliers file GSTR-1. All your purchases listed on GSTR-2A are regarded as inbound supplies by you. Therefore, while filing GSTR-2, only information about purchases from unregistered dealers and purchases that do not appear in GSTR-2A must be provided.
