The officer compares import ITC with customs data. Show your Bills of Entry and the months you claimed credit.

Provisions

Sec 16, CGST Act 2017; Instruction 02/2022-GST (22 March 2022)

Analysis

The SOP lists import ITC against GSTR-2A and ICEGATE data. Common reasons for gaps: Bills of Entry with a different GSTIN, ITC claimed in a different month, or SEZ purchases. Example: ₹5 lakh claimed, ICEGATE shows ₹4.6 lakh; one Bill of Entry for ₹40,000 IGST was filed under the branch GSTIN. Explain and fix.
