GST ITC Matching Tool matches GST ITC Invoices with GSTR-2A/2B Invoices and provides matching results such as - Fully Matched, Tax Mismatch, GSTIN Mismatch, Invoice No Mismatch, Invoice Date Mismatch, Not Matched etc.

Input File Format

To use this tool, please provide ITC File and GSTR-2A File with 9 column format. The columns in excel file should be in the following sequence.

  1. GSTIN
  2. SUPPLIER NAME
  3. INV NO
  4. INV DATE
  5. TAXABLE VALUE
  6. IGST
  7. CGST
  8. SGST
  9. CESS

Both the .xlsx files should have the above mentioned columns in the same sequence. You can download a sample file to check the format.

Once you have both the files ready to use, you may directly visit the GST ITC Matching Tool page and start matching.

Note: In case the Input Excel file, has more than one sheets, the software will look only in the first sheet even if it is a hidden sheet. So in case of error, please check for this.

Interpreting Matching Results

Once the Input Files are verified to be in the required format. The software will enable the "Start Matching" button. After pressing the "Start Matching" button, please wait for a few seconds and result files will be ready to download.

You will get 2 result files - ITC Result and 2A Result.

The downloaded ITC Result file will have 3 extra columns - TOTAL_TAX_ITC, TOTAL_TAX_2A and RESULT. So in total it will have 12 columns.

TOTAL_TAX_ITC - Sum of all the instances of a particular invoice. Suppose an invoice has been taken in 2-3 parts at different places. Then "TOTAL_TAX_ITC" field will show the total sum of all 2-3 parts while individual part wise tax will remain unchanged in other columns (IGST, CGST, SGST, CESS). So do not be alarmed if TOTAL_TAX_ITC looks more than the sum of IGST, CGST, SGST and CESS.

TOTAL_TAX_2A - It is similar to TOTAL_TAX_ITC, but calculated on the uploaded GSTR-2A file.

RESULT - This field will give the result of ITC Matching. You can use excel filter on this column.
