Reconciling GSTR-2B

GSTR-2B is an auto-drafted ITC (Input Tax Credit) statement that is generated on the 12th of every month. The statement is static in nature and does not change based on the actions of the vendors. The source of information for GSTR-2B is GSTR-1, GSTR-5, GSTR-6 and ICEGATE system (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway), hence, it will not contain the TDS and TCS details.
