Keeping a reconciliation file for DRC-01C replies
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Your Part B text is short, so the support sits in your file. Keep a reconciliation of GSTR-2B to GSTR-3B for the period, invoice lists for each cause, bills of entry, RCM challans and ledger extracts. Books must be kept for 72 months under Sec 36.
Provisions and law
- Sec 35, CGST Act 2017Accounts and records to be kept at the principal place of business
- Sec 36, CGST Act 2017Books and records must be kept for 72 months from the annual return due date
- Rule 88D, CGST Rules 2017Intimation DRC-01C when ITC in GSTR-3B exceeds GSTR-2B beyond a limit; reply in 7 days
Analysis
Officers who later issue ASMT-10 or DRC-01A often ask for the same reconciliation. If it is ready, the reply takes a day. A good file shows the GSTR-2B figure, each adjustment with amount and evidence, and the GSTR-3B figure.
Conclusion
- Prepare a GSTR-2B to GSTR-3B bridge for the period
- Attach invoice lists and documents for each item
- Save the filed DRC-01C and any DRC-03
- Store everything with the month's return papers
