What is GSTR 6A & How to view GSTR-6A?

What is GSTR 6A?

GSTR 6A is an auto-generated read-only summary for an Input Service Distributor (ISD) to view all inward supplies details from the supplier.

GSTR-6A is a system generated ‘draft’ Statement of Inward Supplies for a Receiver Taxpayer.

And the GSTR-6A is a read-only form. A taxpayer cannot take any action in GSTR-6A.

GSTR6A for a particular tax period changes based on the details uploaded by the counterparty supplier until the ISD taxpayer submits the GSTR-6 for the same tax period.

Because It is a read-only document provided to you so that you have a record of all the invoices received from various supplier taxpayers in a given tax period.

And you don’t have to file the GSTR6A.

• If supplier submits the return after receiver submits his GSTR-6 then the supplier’s B2B details will be auto-populated in the GSTR6A of the next tax period
• Where ISD taxpayer has not submitted his GSTR-6 and supplier has already submitted his GSTR-1, in such a case GSTR-1/5 data will be auto-populated to the corresponding tax period’s GSTR6A or open tax period GSTR6A whichever is later.
• If the B2B details in GSTR-6 have been rolled over to the next tax period, then that will be part of GSTR-6 of the next tax period. It will be not part of the GSTR-6A of the next tax period.
