GST TRAN-2 return is filed by a dealers or trader that are currently registered under GST but were previously unregistered VAT/Excise.
As a matter of fact, these dealers will not have invoices with VAT or excise to support the claim. The Government has given a provision for transitional input for such dealers in GST TRAN-2.
Please note that GST TRAN-2 will not be filed by manufacturers or service providers.
