Every business flight is two journeys. The passenger flies from A to B. The GST credit is supposed to fly back into your books. Right now, only one of those journeys completes.
Assumes 5% effective GST on tickets, 85% reconciliation rate. Actuals depend on airline mix and GSTIN registration.
IndiGo, Air India, Vistara, SpiceJet, Akasa, Etihad, each maintains a separate GST portal, with its own login flow, session limit, file format, and download mechanic. Pulling 10,000 invoices a quarter manually is a job nobody owns.
Most reconciliation stops at GSTR-2B alone. But airline invoices arrive with PNRs, ticket numbers, and document types your ERP doesn’t speak. Mismatched line items get dropped. Credit notes get missed entirely.
Travel desk thinks it’s finance. Finance thinks it’s the TMC. The TMC sends a quarterly Excel and calls it done. Meanwhile your recoverable credit sits in someone else’s books, and the financial year closes.
TraCarta isn’t a service we run for you. It’s a platform that runs continuously. Six modules in two layers, composed end-to-end.
Your team logs in to download reports, view audit trails, and pull supporting documents.
API and direct integration into your existing accounting or ERP stack, Tally, SAP, Oracle, Zoho.
If you book through a TMC, they can deliver this entire stack to you under their own brand.
What you receive looks less like an audit dump and more like an arrivals board: each invoice is a flight, with a status, an amount, and a clear path forward.
Sample. Real reports cover 30+ columns, full audit trail, and downloadable supporting docs.
Books flights, issues tickets, manages traveler experience.
Captures employee reimbursements and corporate card transactions.
Retrieves airline GST invoices, reconciles with GSTR-2B, computes recoverable ITC.
Posts journal entries, maintains your books of accounts.
Returns filed by your tax team or external CA.
No long IT projects. No data warehouse migrations. We bring the engine. You grant access.
You share airline portal credentials, GSTIN list, and a sample of your GSTR-2B. We map your booking footprint and confirm coverage.
We extract the last full quarter (or year, if you want), reconcile it, and walk you through the report, including a side-by-side of what your books say vs. what’s recoverable.
TraCarta runs on your filing cycle. Reports land in SkyBoard or push to your accounting system via SkyConnect, your choice.
TMCs are excellent at booking. GST reconciliation is a different discipline, it needs portal automation, GSTR-2B parsing, and reconciliation logic that most TMCs don’t build in-house. Many of them in fact resell TraCarta under their own brand via SkyLink.
Your CA reviews what’s in your books. TraCarta puts the right numbers into your books in the first place. Most CAs welcome the cleaner data. It makes their audit faster, not redundant.
Yes. SkyConnect pushes reconciled entries directly into your accounting system as journal vouchers, no manual re-entry. We support Tally, SAP, Oracle, Zoho Books, and most ERP flavors. Custom integrations on request.
Your data sits in isolated, GST-compliant infrastructure. TraCarta is built around India’s DPDP Act 2023 and follows record-retention rules under the GST Act. PII (passenger names, ticket numbers) is scrubbed from reports by default.
Volume-tiered, based on invoices reconciled per cycle. Most enterprise plans pay for themselves in the first month. Typical ITC recovery is 30–80× the monthly fee. We’ll walk you through real numbers on the audit call.
Still worth it. Even on a single airline, manual recon at scale is expensive, and the rate of mismatch on Indian airline portals runs higher than most finance teams realize. We’ve seen 12–18% of “matched” entries flag on closer inspection.
No commitment, no contract, no IT integration. You share access to your airline portals for one filing cycle. We deliver a reconciled report. If the recoverable credit doesn’t make the math obvious, walk away.
