Continuation of Auto-Populated ITC with IMS Support



Quick Summary
Contrary to recent rumours, the auto-population of Input Tax Credit (ITC) from GSTR-2B to GSTR-3B will continue without any manual intervention. This is thanks to the Invoice Management System (IMS). While GSTR-2B will still be generated monthly, taxpayers now have more flexibility to regenerate it if needed, even after its initial creation, up until they file their GSTR-3B. The handling of credit notes is also becoming more flexible from October 2025.

Are you tense for the September 2025 GSTR-3B Return after hearing that the auto-population of ITC from GSTR-2B to GSTR-3B has been discontinued? Don't worry - there is no need for tension at all.

An official advisory has been issued that the circulating information is incorrect. Here's what you actually need to know:
