Solutions / Airline GST Reconciliation
The Solution

Four Systems. One Transaction. One Truth.

What this solution does

Airline GST reconciliation matches every ticket, every invoice, and every GSTR-2B entry, automatically, at scale, with an audit trail behind every match. The credits you're entitled to stop leaking through the cracks.

Why This Is Hard

Three records
of one flight.
Three different answers.

Airline GST sits at the intersection of three systems that were never built to talk to each other. The ticket lives with the airline. The invoice lives with the travel desk. The GSTR-2B entry lives in your GSTN portal. Matching them is where the credits live, and also where the hours go.

01

Invoices don't
match bookings

The same flight generates an airline ticket, a TMC invoice, and an expense entry, often under different names, slightly different amounts, and mismatched tax splits. Reconciling them manually is a week of spreadsheet work. Reconciling them at volume is impossible.

02

GSTR-2B entries
go unchallenged

GSTR-2B shows what the airline filed, not what you were actually invoiced. When an airline filing is missing, incorrect, or delayed, the credit disappears. Most finance teams only find out at audit time, when it's too late to recover.

03

Variance has
nowhere to go

When invoices and filings don't reconcile, what happens to the variance? In most organisations: it's absorbed, forgotten, or buffered. Every unreconciled rupee is either an overclaim your auditor will find, or a credit you paid for and never collected.

How TraCarta Solves It

Three modules.
One pipeline.

Airline GST reconciliation runs end-to-end through three of the Intelligence Stack's layers, each doing exactly one job, handing clean data to the next. No manual exports, no spreadsheet bridges, no loose ends.

Stage 01, Ingest
Document Intelligence

Extracts every field from every airline invoice, ticket number, GSTIN, tax amounts, passenger data, across 40+ formats. The dirty input becomes clean, structured, reconciliation-ready records.

Stage 02, Match
Reconciliation

Three-way matching runs invoices against bookings against GSTR-2B, at volume. Every match is attributed. Every variance is surfaced. The 94% that reconcile silently; the 6% that need attention are flagged with context.

Stage 03, See
Analytics

Finance leadership sees reconciliation status live, by entity, by airline, by quarter. Exceptions are routed. Trends are visible. Nothing hides between filings.

What It Looks Like in Practice

What a Reconciled Quarter Delivers

Recovery you can
put in the ledger.

44Lacs
ITC Recovered

Credits traced to the exact invoice, the exact filing, the exact journal entry.

Enterprise clients unlock an average of ₹50 Lacs in Input Tax Credit every quarter. Each credit is evidenced by a matched invoice, a matched GSTR-2B entry, and a posted journal reference. Nothing assumed. Nothing rounded.

97%
Auto-Reconciled

97% of invoices match themselves. The rest surface as exceptions with context.

Ninety seven percent of airline invoices reconcile automatically against GSTR-2B entries. The remaining six percent aren't buried, they're surfaced as exceptions, with the specific variance highlighted and routed to the right person on your finance team.

10days
Close Cycle

From quarter-close to reconciled, evidenced, and posted, in under a week.

What used to be a month of spreadsheet work across five teams becomes an automated pipeline. Quarter-close to final reconciliation runs in six days, with every match, every variance, and every journal entry fully attributable.
