  2. Select the period you want to reconcile.
  3. Review the purchase and GSTR-6A document counts shown on the dashboard.
  4. Click Match and Reconcile.

Octa will match the records and update the reconciliation results.

In the dashboard:

  • Orange represents purchase register documents.
  • Purple represents GSTR-6A documents.

In the reconciliation view:

  • Fields matching perfectly are shown in green
  • Fields almost matching are shown in light green
  • Fields not matching are shown in red
  • Orange indicates purchase documents that remain unmatched
  • Purple indicates GSTR-6A documents that could not be reconciled with your purchase register

Reconciliation Statuses

Match

A Match means the purchase document is fully aligned with the corresponding GSTR-6A entry. Key details such as invoice number, invoice date, taxable value, and tax amount match between the purchase register and GSTR-6A.

Almost Match

An Almost Match means Octa found a probable match, but some values are slightly different. This may happen because of rounding differences, small date or invoice number variations, or formatting differences.

Review almost matched records before claiming ITC.

Mismatch

A Mismatch means the purchase document and GSTR-6A entry are linked or compared, but important values do not match. Review the differences and correct the source data if required.

Missing in GSTR-6A

Missing in GSTR-6A means the invoice is available in the purchase register but not in GSTR-6A. These records are shown in orange.

This usually means the invoice is recorded in your books but is not available in the government portal data for the selected period.

Missing in Purchase Register

Missing in Purchase Register means the invoice is available in GSTR-6A but not in the purchase register. These records are shown in purple.

This usually means the invoice is available on the portal but has not been recorded or imported in the ISD purchase register.
