Form GSTR-2A for a particular tax period will be available for viewing as well as for downloading (in Excel and\/or JSON formats) in post-login mode on the GST portal. The JSON file can be viewed using the Returns Offline Tool. There is no way to modify Form GSTR-2A or add an invoice. It&rsquo;s important to remember that the returns are filled in advance rather than a finished good. This suggests that the information can occasionally be accurate and that you might have to change it. It&rsquo;s critical to compare the data on the form to your records and address any discrepancies with your suppliers. It is also important to remember that you can only make use of the invoices for input tax credits that are marked as &ldquo;Accepted&rdquo; in GSTR 2A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read our Article<\/strong>: <mark><a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/form-gstr-2b\/\">All you need to know about Form GSTR-2B<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3><strong>What is a B2B invoice under GST?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The B2B invoices are the business-to-business transaction invoices under GST.<\/p><\/li><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3><strong>How do I download 2A in Excel?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">You can have access to GSTR 2A from the GST portal.
