GSTN Advisory, Dated 19-06-2025<\/em><\/p>\n

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has issued a detailed advisory to guide taxpayers in correcting inadvertently rejected invoices, debit notes, credit notes, and ECO documents<\/strong> in the Invoice Management System (IMS)<\/strong>. This step aims to streamline rectifications and ensure accurate reflection of Input Tax Credit (ITC) in Form GSTR-2B.<\/p>\n

1. Corrective Actions for Rejected Documents<\/h2>\n

In cases where recipients have wrongly rejected<\/strong> documents:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The recipient may request the supplier<\/strong> to re-report the same record without any modification<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • The supplier can furnish the record in:<\/li>\n
  • \n
      \n
    • Form GSTR-1A<\/strong> of the same tax period; or<\/li>\n
    • The amendment table<\/strong> of a subsequent Form GSTR-1<\/strong> or IFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Once the document is accepted on IMS, the system will recompute Form GSTR-2B<\/strong>, enabling the recipient to avail or reverse ITC<\/strong> accordingly.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Note \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The supplier\u2019s tax liability remains unaffected, as the amendment reflects only the delta value.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      2. Special Case \u2013 Credit Note Rejection After GSTR-3B Filing<\/h2>\n

      If a credit note<\/strong> was inadvertently rejected and the GSTR-3B return has already been filed<\/strong>, the following applies:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Automatic reversal is not possible.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • The supplier may re-report the same credit note<\/strong>, unchanged, via:<\/li>\n
      • \n
          \n
        • Form GSTR-1A<\/strong> of the same period; or<\/li>\n
        • The amendment table<\/strong> in a later GSTR-1\/IFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Upon the recipient\u2019s acceptance and recomputation of Form GSTR-2B<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • The recipient\u2019s ITC will be reduced<\/strong> by the original credit note amount.<\/li>\n
          • Simultaneously, the supplier\u2019s liability\u2014previously added back\u2014will be reduced<\/strong>, resulting in zero net impact<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            3. Objective and Impact<\/h2>\n

            This advisory ensures:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Consistency and transparency<\/strong> in ITC adjustments.<\/li>\n
            • No duplication or excess liability<\/strong> on the part of the supplier.<\/li>\n
            • A clear mechanism for reconciliation and correction<\/strong> within the IMS and return filing framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
