GSTR-2A is a statement of inward supplies for the taxpayer. It contains information that is supplied when the suppliers upload the following statements; GSTR-1 (filed by a regular registered seller), GSTR-6 (filed by an input service distributor), GSTR-7 (filed by a person liable to deduct TDS), and GSTR-8 (filed by an e-commerce operator). GSTR-2A is a real-time statement as it reflects the changes that take place when documents are uploaded.

GSTR-2B is also an auto-populated ITC statement, similar to GSTR 2A. The only change is GSTR 2B is a static statement generated on 14th for the previous month. GSTR-2B is generated once a month and it does not change until the next month.
