Before filing Tran 2 form, it is important to first file the TRAN-1 and GSTR 3B forms in a particular time period. Here is the comprehensive step-by-step guide to filing Tran 2 form:

Step 3: Furnish the information in the opening stock of particular tables which are Table 4 and Table 5 as mentioned in TRAN 1. Please ensure that all the HSN/goods are declared in TRAN 2, in the opening balance in the month of July 2017, irrespective of the fact that these have been sold or not in the first i.e. July 2017 tax period.

Step 4: Furnish the information of sold-out goods in respect of this stock in the very initial tax period and tax paid details under IGST, CGST, and SGST on such goods and calculate the available ITC and mention the value in the various tables where it is required. It must be noted down that the applicable ITC is required to be less than or equal to 60% of CGST and 30% IGST.

Step 5: When the taxpayer furnishes the details in TRAN 2 form for a given tax period, it only requires mentioning the information about the tax paid, ITC allowed, and goods sold/ supplied. The opening stock in this form gets auto-populated in respect of the closing stock of the previous tax period. Whereas the closing balance is auto-populated from the supplied quantity and opening stock in a particular tax period.

  2. Sir,

    We are mfg. co. GST registered. At the time of filing TRAN -1 we forgot to claim some amount, so can we file/claim in TRAN 2 with missed Excise Invoice amount?

    Thanks

  3. I have declared 50 nos. in Tran-1. Out of these 50 nos., 15 were sold in July and balance 35 were sold in September. What should I enter in the “Action” column? Whether it would be Add or Delete? What does this mean? Could you please help asap as there is very less time left? Thanks.

  4. I declare 15 HSN in TRAN 1 and I showed 5 HSN in July and other not shown in July but I made a sale in this HSN in aug to dec how can I get input?

  5. Sir,

    While filing TRAN 2 error arises as “Save DSC Data.”

    With the same DSC, I file the GSTR1, TRAN1, GSTR3B etc.

    we have approached the helpline but to no avail

    kindly advise.

  6. My query regarding TRNS2.

    That we have filled TRANS1 with closing stock about 200 mt (5 items-HSN/goods) within the due date,

    “As the rule prescribed to ensure that all the HSN/goods are declared in TRAN 2, in the opening balance in the month of July 2017, irrespective of the fact that these have been sold or not in the first i.e. July 2017 tax period.”

    By mistake at the time of filling TRNS2 for july17 out of five items HSN/goods (200mt) only one item 50 mt HSN/goods that was sold during the month of July was taken as opening balance and rest four items HSN/goods was not shown in op balance in the month of July, which was sold during the period july17 to Dec17

    So please suggest the way how claiming ITC on the remaining 4 items HSN/goods that were also sold during July to Dec.

  7. I am facing the same issue in GST TRAN 2. In July return, a portal is not allowing to add details on HSN where no transaction happen during July Month. This entire portal is full of S**t 🙁

  8. I forget to file the Tran 1 form as the date of filing Tran 1 is 27/12/2017. How can I take input vat credit? Please give suggestion.

  9. In Tran 2, navigate to form 4. Here we are not allowed Zero entry in outward supplies in case of no sales of a particular HSN. How to do?

      1. Sir, with reference to query, Closing balance comes automatically and at the same time ZERO QTY not allowed, please provide solution immediately. Thanks

          1. Dear Sir,

            In Tran 2, navigate to form 4. Here we are not allowed Zero entry in outward supplies in case of no sales of a particular HSN.

            You replied, “show all the stock as closing balance, no detail of sale to be provided for that HSN.”

            My Query: Closing balance comes automatically and it can not be manually punched. At the same time ZERO QTY not allowed, please provide solution immediately.
