What is GST Ledger Reconciliation?

GST ledger reconciliation means matching the three ledgers on your GST portal with your own books of accounts and your filed returns.

The aim is to make sure that every rupee of tax paid, credit claimed and liability shown on the portal is also recorded correctly in your accounts.

In simple words, it answers one question: does my GST portal balance match my books?

What are the Three GST Ledgers?

Every registered taxpayer has three ledgers on the GST portal.

Each ledger shows balances under IGST, CGST, SGST/UTGST and Cess. The cash ledger also has separate columns for tax, interest, penalty, late fee and others.

Why is GST Ledger Reconciliation Important?

Common Reasons for Ledger Differences

• Challan generated but payment not completed
• Payment done after the due date, so interest is not booked
• Wrong head selected while paying (for example IGST instead of CGST)
• ITC claimed in GSTR-3B but not recorded in books
• ITC booked in books but not claimed in GSTR-3B
• ITC reversed on the portal but not shown in accounts
• Interest and late fee paid in cash but booked as tax
• DRC-03 payments not entered in books
• Refund received but not recorded
• Credit notes reported in a later month
• Exchange of data between two software without a proper check
