Match GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and books to ensure accurate sales reporting.<\/li>\n<li>Income from P&amp;L with GST Implications : Check for transactions like sale of fixed assets (e.g., car, machinery) that attract GST. Identify GST-applicable transactions like sale of assets (e.g., car).<\/li>\n<li>Refund Status Review : Verify export refund claims (with tax payment) and ensure they\u2019re properly reflected. Confirm export refunds (with tax payment) are properly claimed and recorded.<\/li>\n<li>ITC Reconciliation : Match GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B vs Books to confirm input tax credits are accurate and complete. Cross-check GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B, and books for correct input tax credit reporting.<\/li>\n<li>Identify Ineligible ITC &amp; 180-Day Reversals : Reverse ITC where payments to vendors are pending beyond 180 days or where ineligible credits exist. Reverse ITC for unpaid vendor bills beyond 180 days and ineligible credits.<\/li>\n<li>Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) Liabilities : Ensure all RCM liabilities are paid and recorded correctly in the books. Taxpayer must ensure reverse charge liabilities are paid and reflected in accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Import Credits Validation : Cross-check import ITC appearing in 2B but missing in 3B or books, and reconcile accordingly. Reconcile import ITC shown in GSTR-2B but missing in GSTR-3B or books<\/li>\n<li>Match GST Portal Balances with Accounts : Verify cash, credit, and liability balances on the GST portal vs accounting records. Match portal balances (cash, credit, liability) with accounting records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A thorough reconciliation today can save you from notices, reversals, and penalties tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Credit notes play a critical role in ensuring accurate adjustments under GST.
