Why check supplier filing before claiming ITC?

Under Section 16(2)(aa) CGST Act 2017, ITC is only available when the supplier's invoice appears in GSTR-2B, which requires the supplier to have filed GSTR-1. Gaps block your ITC and can trigger DRC-01 notices.

QRMP allows taxpayers with turnover up to Rs.5 crore to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B quarterly. Due dates shift to the 13th and 22nd/24th of the month after quarter end.

Why GSTR Filing Status Matters

ITC Eligibility Under Section 16(2)(aa)

The Finance Act 2022 inserted Section 16(2)(aa) into the CGST Act, 2017, making GSTN-matching mandatory for Input Tax Credit claims. ITC is only admissible when the supplier's invoice appears in your GSTR-2B — which only populates after the supplier files GSTR-1.

A supplier with even one month of GSTR-1 non-filing puts your ITC at risk of reversal under Rule 86A, with interest at 24% p.a. Regular filing checks before processing invoices protect your working capital.

Consequences of Non-Filing

GSTR-1 not filed — Buyer's GSTR-2B won't reflect invoices. ITC blocked under Rule 36(4).
GSTR-3B not filed — Late fee ₹50/day (₹200/day for non-nil returns) plus 18% p.a. interest.
Prolonged non-filing — GSTIN suspended or cancelled under Rule 21A. Invoices become invalid.
Buyer's liability — DRC-01 demand notice for excess ITC under Section 74.

Interpreting Filing Gaps

Consistent Filer

All returns filed on time. Safe to claim ITC. Monitor quarterly.

Occasional Gaps

1–2 periods missing. Verify GSTR-2B before claiming ITC for those months.

Chronic Non-filer

Multiple consecutive periods overdue. Raise debit note and recover the GST component.

Cancelled GSTIN

Registration cancelled. Any invoice is invalid. Recover the GST amount immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this live GSTN data?

Yes. Filing records come directly from the GSTN API — the same database that powers the official GST portal. Data is cached for speed. Click ↻ Refresh on any result to bypass the cache and fetch the latest live status.

What does "Overdue" mean on this tracker?

Overdue means the statutory due date has passed and no filing is recorded in GSTN. For GSTR-1 the due date is the 11th of the following month; for GSTR-3B it is the 20th. An overdue return attracts late fees of ₹50–200 per day and interest at 18% per annum on unpaid tax.

Why does my supplier show overdue when they claim to have filed?

GSTN data can have a 24–48 hour propagation lag after filing. Use the ↻ Refresh link to force a live fetch. Persistent overdue status after 48 hours means the return was genuinely not filed on the GSTN portal.

How is the compliance % calculated?

Compliance % = (returns filed ÷ total returns expected for the FY) × 100. Only periods whose due dates have passed count in the denominator. If GSTN returns no filing data for a FY, the gauge shows — to avoid fabricating false numbers.

Can I check filing status for any GSTIN?

Yes. GSTN filing data is public information. GSTIN.cloud provides a faster, structured view of this public data. No login is required for basic filing status checks.

What should I do if I find gaps in a supplier's filing history?

Contact your supplier and request they file the missing returns. Do not claim ITC for invoices from those periods until the supplier files. If the supplier refuses, issue a debit note to recover the GST component and adjust your books accordingly.
