CBIC has issued an advisory dated 17-09-2021, regarding a functionality deployed on GST portal to help the importer of goods and recipients of supplies from SEZ to search Bill of Entry details, which did not auto-populate in GSTR-2A. GSTN has deployed a self-service functionality on the GST Portal that can be used to search such records in GST System and fetch the missing records from ICEGATE. Taxpayers can follow the below-mentioned steps to fetch the requisite details: –

1. Login to GST Portal.
2. Navigate to Services > User Services > Search BoE
3. Enter the Port Code, Bill of Entry Number, Bill of Entry Date and Reference Date and click the SEARCH button.
4. If the BoE details do not appear in the Search results, click on the QUERY ICEGATE button, at the bottom of the screen, to trigger a query to ICEGATE.
5. History of fetched BoE details from ICEGATE along with status of query are displayed after 30 minutes from the time of triggering the query.

In case of any problem, kindly create a ticket at the GST Helpdesk or GST Self-service portal by including following details:

• Complete details of BE records
• GSTIN
• BE Number, BE Date, Port Code & Reference Date
• Screenshot of ICEGATE portal with BE record

Any error that might have been encountered while using the “Search BoE” functionality on GST Portal
