In Marg Software, if an alert of ' API Access is not enabled ' display while opening GSTR 2A then this issue can be resolved easily.

In order to resolve ' API Access is not enabled ', the user needs to follow the below steps:

The user needs to enable API Access on GST Portal.

• Go to www.gst.gov.in and click on Login.

Fig. 1.1 Path to Visit GST Portal 

• Mention the ‘Username’ and ‘Password’.

• Then type the characters as displayed in the image and then click on ‘Login’.

• Click on ‘My Profile’ by visiting on the top right side of GST Portal.

• A ‘My Profile’ window will appear in which the user will click on ‘Manage API Access’ from the ‘Quick Links’ Tab.

• A ‘Manage API Access’ window will appear. Select ‘Yes’ in ‘Enable API Request’ field.

• Then select ‘Duration’.

• Suppose, if the user select 6 hours and click on ‘Confirm’. Then while reconciling GSTR 2, an OTP will be received on the registered mobile number which will be valid for only 6 hours i.e. the user can download as many JSON files in 6 hours.

• And after 6 hours, when the user visits again to reconcile then OTP needs to be provided again in order to download JSON file.

• Similarly if the user select 30 days then the user can download as many JSON files in 30 days. And again after 30 days, the user needs to provide an OTP again in order to download JSON file.

• For now, the user will select the duration (30 Days) as per the requirement and then click on ‘Confirm’.

• Again open software and go to GST > GSTR Settings.

• A ‘GSTR Settings’ window will appear with different fields:
• In 'GSTR User Name', the user will mention the same username which is being registered in GST Portal. Then click on ‘Okay’.

After following the above steps, the user can view GSTR 2A will get open in Marg Software.
