Actually it's a simple one where one can track their ITC under GSTR-2A if not reflected can be placed in GSTR-2 (should be under the same month). This applies for both sellers and purchasers. If you made a mistake in GSTR-1 of Jan 2018 which reflects in GSTR-2A in Jan 2018 for buyer then he has to use GSTR-2 in the Jan 2018 GSTR-2A itself. If he/she tries to File the GSTR-2 Jan invoice under Feb GSTR-2A selection then the error of timeline will pop up. It's a message to show that your entering Jan invoice under Feb GSTR-2 that's all.

No I haven't tried it but after ur suggestion, i googled it. And then read it somewhere that if anybody is trying to file gstr 2 by going thru the process u suggested , then this error message is popping up everytime. So I think as of now we can just add missing invoices but can't file gstr 2.

Sir GSTR2A is available now just for viewing purposes and accept the invoice uploaded by ur supplier.... Gstr2 is now not active... Hlw sir ITC can be availed upto the period of annual return i. e filed in September month.... And like gstr1 GSTR2 AND GSTR3 also get filed monthly or quarterly..... U missed ur itc only when u didn't show in in nowhere in ur GSTR2 upto the month of September.... When GSTR3 is getting postponed then annual return also na...so don't worry for ur itc.... GSTR2 and GSTR3 have to send from July month onwards...

Yeah that shouldve been the case but mostly were of the opinion that timeline issue relates to gstr 2 being not available

When any one of the party (buyer / seller) who's turnover is above 1.5cr then it's monthly returns. Then one has to enter the particular invoice on respected month itself. Ask your client to give it a try to File GSTR-2A. Remeber he has to File the invoice under the same month.

remeber that GSTR-2 is a correction not by your end but by the side of the buyer who says to the Govt that you have missed the invoice issued to him by which he cant avail that ITC which he paid to you.

So that means once you filed the returns of GSTR-1, you wont be able to alter it. But only the buyer is capable to edit the errors of the invoice using GSTR-2.

Let's say you have given service or goods valued at 100/- and the tax is at 5% by which the net amount will be 105/- under the invoice No. 001/17-18 of Jan 2018. But you have filed the Invoice No. 001/17-18 at 94.50/- showing that you have given 10/- as discount. This error by your end cannot be amended as you have filed this. When the Buyer / service receiver checks his GSTR-2A under Jan 2018 he finds that you have entered 90/- as Gross amount and 4.5/- as tax amount but the hard copy Invoice he got doesn't reflect the discount so what he has to do is he'll select GSTR-2 under Jan month to amend the error / mistake by showing the actual amount under the same Invoice No. 001/17-18.

Only uploaded invoices can be amended in next month return... Only option left is buyer upload it in their GSTR2... So. Wait for it and. Don't worry about that

Not to worry there are 2 ways to amend the error/mistake regarding GSTR-1. Just take your time to rectify it. i just checked that GSTR-2 has problems regarding the Timeline is because they haven't updated the timeline in the GST portal.
