Credit is only as good as the supplier's compliance. If a vendor does not report an invoice, the credit does not appear in GSTR-2B and cannot be claimed in that period.
The recurring problems we see are: claiming credit without matching GSTR-2B, missing the time limit for availing credit, claiming on blocked items, ignoring the payment condition within 180 days, and failing to reverse credit relating to exempt supplies.
The fix is process, not law. Reconcile purchase registers with GSTR-2B every month, keep a follow-up list of non-reporting suppliers, and document any credit consciously deferred so it is not lost at year end.
