GST Reconciliation Gap Finder
Find mismatches between GSTR-2B and your purchase register
The ERPPlugs GST Reconciliation Gap Finder compares your GSTR-2B data with your purchase register to identify mismatches, missing invoices, and ITC at risk. Upload CSV files from the GST portal and Tally/Zoho Books to get an instant reconciliation report. Indian businesses typically find 5-15% of invoices have discrepancies.
Automated GST Reconciliation for Indian Businesses
Every month, Indian businesses face the painstaking task of matching their purchase register against GSTR-2B data published by the GST portal. Discrepancies in invoice numbers, tax amounts, or supplier GSTINs can delay Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims, trigger notices from the department, and create year-end audit headaches. ERPPlugs GST Reconciliation automates this entire workflow—pulling GSTR-2B data and your books-of-account entries into a single comparison view so mismatches surface instantly.
The tool is built for practising Chartered Accountants, in-house tax teams, and small-business owners who file their own returns. Whether you run TallyPrime, Busy, Zoho Books, or any other supported ERP, the reconciliation engine normalises invoice formats, handles rounding differences, and flags genuine mismatches that need supplier follow-up. You no longer need to export CSVs and run VLOOKUP marathons in Excel.
Beyond matching, the tool generates actionable reports: unclaimed ITC at risk, invoices missing from the supplier’s filing, and reverse-charge entries that need manual confirmation. Automated email reminders can be sent to non-compliant vendors, helping you recover blocked credit before the annual return deadline.
How It Works
Connect Your ERP
Link your TallyPrime, Busy, Zoho Books, or other accounting software through ERPPlugs’ secure connector. Your purchase register data syncs automatically—no manual exports required.
Fetch GSTR-2B Data
The tool pulls your latest GSTR-2B from the GST portal using authorised API access. All supplier invoices, credit notes, and amendments appear in a structured format ready for comparison.
Run Automated Matching
The reconciliation engine compares each purchase entry against GSTR-2B line items. It normalises invoice number formats, tolerates minor rounding differences, and classifies results as Matched, Mismatched, Missing in Books, or Missing in GSTR-2B.
Review & Act on Exceptions
A dashboard highlights every discrepancy with suggested actions—contact the supplier, adjust the entry, or flag for CA review. Export exception reports in Excel or PDF, or send automated follow-up emails to vendors.
Benefits
Maximise ITC Claims
Identify every rupee of eligible Input Tax Credit that might otherwise go unclaimed due to filing mismatches between your records and your suppliers’ returns.
Eliminate Manual Spreadsheet Work
Replace hours of VLOOKUP-driven reconciliation in Excel with a one-click comparison that runs in seconds, even for ledgers with thousands of invoices per month.
Reduce Compliance Risk
Catch GSTIN errors, duplicate invoices, and reverse-charge omissions before filing. Proactive reconciliation lowers the chance of department notices and interest penalties.
Faster Vendor Follow-Up
Auto-generated mismatch summaries per supplier let you send targeted reminders. Vendors who haven’t filed or have filed incorrect details are flagged immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ERPs does the GST Reconciliation tool support?
The tool works with any ERP connected through ERPPlugs—including TallyPrime, Busy, Marg, Zoho Books, ERPNext, and SAP Business One. If your accounting software is listed on our integrations page, you can reconcile directly.
How does the tool handle invoice number format differences?
Our matching engine strips leading zeros, normalises slashes and hyphens, and applies fuzzy matching to catch common formatting variations between your books and GSTR-2B. You can also set custom normalisation rules for specific vendors.
Is my GST portal login information stored by ERPPlugs?
No. We use the official GST API with OTP-based authentication. Your portal credentials are never stored on our servers. Each data fetch requires a fresh OTP authorisation from the registered mobile number.
Can I reconcile previous months or financial years?
Yes. You can run reconciliation for any return period available on the GST portal. This is especially useful during annual return preparation (GSTR-9) when you need to reconcile the entire financial year at once.
What happens when a mismatch is found?
Each mismatch is categorised by type—amount difference, missing invoice, GSTIN error, or tax-rate variance. The tool suggests a corrective action and lets you assign the item to a team member or send a pre-drafted email to the supplier.
