CBIC always tries to make GST compliances easier and introduce few new things on the GST portal every month. From last one month or week so, many changes have been introduced and today we will go through all of them-
1. GSTR 2B
Form GSTR 2B is generated every month, as per the GSTR 1 filed. Input Tax Credit available to taxpayer for that month, is reflected in this form. Now, the question, many will be thinking is why this form, if Form GSTR 2A, is already there, why one more ?
So, lets answer this question, and remove the doubts.
The basic difference between GSTR 2A and GSTR 2B, is that form GSTR 2A keeps updating time to time as and when supplier files their GSTR 1 and on the other hand, GSTR 2A will be constant. GSTR 2B will be auto populated on the basis of details in GSTR 1 furnished by the suppliers till 11th of the month. Hence, GSTR 2B for the month of December 2020, will be auto populated on 12th January, on the basis of GSTR-1 filed by the suppliers from 12th December to 11th January.
This form becomes most important, as GSTR 3B, which is getting auto populated from this month will be generated from this form.
2. Annual Aggregate Turnover on GST Portal
Annual aggregate turnover, for the Financial Year 2019-20, will be auto populated on the dashboard. This turnover will be important for many provisions in which turnover are the subject matter. For opting the recent new Quarterly Return Monthly Payment, also turnover is the important parameter. This AATO will be PAN based.
From the above picture, it is quite evident that it will say, whether taxpayer is having turnover less or more than Rs. 5 Crore.
3. Auto Populated Form GSTR 3B
Form GSTR 3B is getting auto populated from the month of November 2020. Now, let me explain from where, what data is being reflecting in the form.
The table 3, which talks about sales, is being reflected from GSTR 1, which you have filed by 11th of the month. And all the tables relating to ITC are being auto populated from Form GSTR 2B. Let me remind you again that, GSTR 2B is auto populated from the GSTR-1 uploaded by your suppliers till 11th of the month.

This system generated GSTR 3b, is available to download in PDF format.
If you are entering values which are more than 10% of the values in the system generated GSTR 3B, then you will get messages saying, so and even those tables will get red coloured. Although, CBIC has clarified that, taxpayer should ignore the message, about RCM. If one has entered RCM liability more than 10% as system generated, then they have to ignore such message, and declare actual RCM liability.
4. Annual Return for Financial Year 2019-20
Annual Return for FY 2019-20 is available on GST Portal. Form GSTR 9 is annual return required to be filed by every Registered person other than an Input Service Distributor, a person paying tax under section 51 (TDS) or section 52 (TCS), a casual taxable person and a non-resident taxable person.
