If you run a SaaS or product company in Hyderabad and outsource GST filing, here is the part that determines whether you keep your input tax credit: GSTR-2B reconciliation. It is a data-matching problem, and it is exactly where Rs 400-a-month filing quietly skips work.
GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted statement of credit available to you, generated from your suppliers' filings. Your claimed ITC has to match what your suppliers actually reported. When a supplier files late or files wrong, your credit moves, and unreconciled invoices are credit you silently lose.
Why this is a real engineering-shaped task: you are joining your purchase register against GSTR-2B on GSTIN, invoice number, date and value, flagging mismatches, and chasing suppliers before the filing window closes. Done by hand on a few hundred invoices it is error-prone; done with no process it does not happen at all.
Pricing reality for Telangana (code 36): basic GSTR-1 plus GSTR-3B is Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 a month. Full compliance with monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation is Rs 5,000 to Rs 12,000. The gap between those two numbers is the reconciliation work.
Before you sign, ask for the consultant's GSTIN (36-series for Hyderabad), a recent GSTR-9 they filed, and a written scope.
Details on what GST compliance in Hyderabad actually covers, beyond just pressing submit.
