GST Reconciliation Dashboard for Finance Teams
Reviewed by CA Nikhil Gupta · Last reviewed 20 June 2026
GST reconciliation should be visible as a dashboard, not hidden in month-end files. Finance leaders need one view of mismatches, cash risk, ITC leakage, refunds and notices.
For broader context, see the GST Law & Practice Hub.
Dashboard blocks
| Block | Metric |
|---|---|
| Outward supplies | Books vs GSTR-1 vs e-invoice variance. |
| Tax payment | GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B liability bridge. |
| ITC | GSTR-2B vs books vs eligible credit. |
| RCM | Expense-ledger to tax-paid/ITC tracker. |
| Notices/refunds | Open amount, ageing and next action. |
Use the GST E-Commerce TCS Calculator and Reconciliation to apply these points to your figures or facts.
