All about Fetching Bill of Entry details not auto-populated in your GSTR 2A

To help importers of goods, and recipients of supplies from SEZ, search Bill of Entry details, which did not auto-populate in GSTR-2A, a self-service functionality has been made available on the GST Portal that can be used to search such records in GST System, and fetch the missing records from ICEGATE.

Please note that it usually takes 2 days (after reference date) for BE details to get updated on GST Portal from ICEGATE. This functionality should, therefore, be used if data is not available after this period.
Note: The reference date would be either Out of charge date, Duty payment date, or amendment date – whichever is later.
