The simplest prevention is to claim ITC in GSTR-3B only from the final GSTR-2B for that month, after IMS actions, and to keep a separate schedule for lawful items not in GSTR-2B such as imports in transit or RCM.

Provisions

Sec 16(2)(aa), CGST Act 2017; Rule 36(4), CGST Rules 2017; Rule 88D, CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

A 30-minute check between the 14th and the 20th can save a week of notices. Compare GSTR-2B with your purchase register, act in IMS, recompute GSTR-2B, and claim. Keep a list of invoices pending in GSTR-2B and chase those suppliers by the 25th.
