Prepare GSTR-3B and Reconcile ITC

Yepsta prepares GSTR-3B from three controlled sources: the current locked review snapshot, the current GSTR-1 preparation and an approved authoritative GSTR-2B reconciliation.

Import and reconcile GSTR-2B

Section titled “Import and reconcile GSTR-2B”

Download the official statement for the same GSTIN and period using your approved GST Portal process, then open GST → GST Compliance → ITC.

Create approved ITC evidence
  1. Under Import GSTR-2B, choose the official JSON, XLSX or XLS file.
  2. Choose Statement frequency as Monthly or Quarterly, then select Import GSTR-2B.
  3. Confirm GSTIN, tax period, source filename and document count, then select Reconcile purchases.
  4. Review Exact matches, Mismatches, Missing in 2B, 2B only and duplicates.
  5. Open Review on differences. Possible matches are suggestions; use Confirm manual link only after comparing the supplier, GSTIN, document number, date and tax components.
  6. Set the supported ITC decision: Claim now, Hold, Ineligible, Reverse, Reclaim or Not applicable. Enter the required period and a specific reason where shown.
  7. Resolve differences, then select Approve reconciliation. Approval makes the decisions retained evidence for GSTR-3B.

For a QRMP compliance period, a monthly statement is retained for review only. Import and approve the quarterly authoritative GSTR-2B before preparing GSTR-3B. Importing a different file later creates a replacement version; re-uploading the identical file does not duplicate it.

Held items remain excluded. A claim without a verified purchase link needs a specific manual override from a Lock-authorized user and remains visible as a warning.

Prepare GSTR-3B

Section titled “Prepare GSTR-3B”

Open Returns, then select GSTR-3B.

Review liability and ITC working
  1. Confirm the panel shows the expected snapshot, GSTR-1 and GSTR-2B versions.
  2. Select Prepare GSTR-3B.
  3. Review Outward liability, RCM cash, Net ITC, Estimated cash and blockers/warnings.
  4. Review the supported section working for Table 3.1, Table 3.1.1, Table 3.2, Table 4 and Table 5. Only sections backed by supported evidence are populated.
  5. Investigate GSTR-3B validation and reconciliation. Blockers prevent package generation; warnings remain working evidence.
  6. When blockers are zero, select Generate filing package, then Download package.

The ZIP follows GSTR3B_GSTIN_PERIOD_VVERSION.zip and contains gstr3b-upload.json, gstr3b-working.xlsx, gstr2b-reconciliation.xlsx, itc-decision-register.xlsx and manifest.json.

Review the JSON and workbooks with your GST professional, then upload through the current GST Portal offline workflow. Final liability offset, payment and filing occur on the GST Portal, not Yepsta.

Use Record portal status only for manual JSON uploaded, Portal validation successful or Portal validation error tracking. It is not a filed-return status.
