Who has to file GSTR-2?


In the GST system, everyone must fill GSTR-2, except those who are composition schemes and some other special category practitioners. If directly stated, whoever has filled GSTR-1, it is mandatory to fill GSTR-2 also. Because, after submitting GSTR-1 (details of all sales) and Form GSTR-2 (details of all purchases), all their details are automatically entered in your account Form GSTR-3A. They should check and submit the final GSTR-3 only after submitting their tax liability (till 20 dates).


Who has not to need to file GSTR-2?


  • Dealers registered under the Composition Scheme 
  • E-Commerce Operators
  • Input Service Distributors
  • Non-Resident dealers
  • TDS deductors
  • Government departments or United Nations Offices that have a Unique Identification Number (UIN).


Document Required for GSTR-2


  • Receipt for all types of purchases.
  • Invoice for all purchases
  • Since in GSTR-2A you have to check and rectify the pre-loaded purchases, you should keep the receipts for all purchases made during that month.
  • This would include other state and their state transactions. Then, whether it is a Registered Businessman (Business to Business-B to C) or Registered Businessman to Business (Business to Retail-B to C).
  • In this, you will also have to give information about discounts and non-GST purchases. Also, keep receipts for whatever stock transfer has taken place between business locations in your different states.
