This is an internal audit process where the taxpayer’s accounting books (Sales/Purchase Ledgers) are cross-verified with the data available on the GST portal (GSTR-1, 2B, and 3B). The goal is to ensure that no sales have been missed and, more importantly, that no Input Tax Credit (ITC) has been claimed unless the supplier has actually uploaded the invoice. With the implementation of strict rules in 2026, claiming ITC without it reflecting in the portal’s GSTR-2B can lead to immediate notices and recovery actions.
