Quick Summary
A user mistakenly claimed November's Input Tax Credit (ITC) in their October GSTR-3B filing. Now, when attempting to file for November and reverse the advance claim, they are encountering Rule 36(4) contravention errors. Although the supplier has now uploaded the invoices, making them visible in GSTR-2A, the user is seeking guidance on whether to reverse the credit or zero-rate it for the current month, and if reversal is mandatory.

No need to worry you can reverse itc claimed in advance

But, when i enter the amount in reversal section under itc table, i see the below message  and itc column is turned red.

For table 3.1 (a, b, c, e) & 3.2 - The information entered by you is in variance with the auto-populated data. The liability has been computed on the basis of the information declared by you in your FORM GSTR-1. Kindly recheck and proceed.

For table 3.1 (d) and 4 - The information entered by you is in variance (>10%) with the auto-populated data. The input tax credit/reverse charge liability has been auto-populated on the basis of the GSTR-2B generated for you. Also, please note that any variance above 10% of the input tax credit in contravention to Rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules, 2017. Kindly recheck and proceed.

But right now those invoices are uploaded by supplier and are showing under 2A. Instead of doing a reversal, can i opt for updating the itc values to 0 for this month? or a reversal is mandatory?

The correct way is you should claim itc of the relevant month in the respective relevant month and reverse the excess itc claimed wrongly in the previous month in the reversal column,
rule 36(4) doesn't prevent you from reversal of credit wrongly taken

Okay. Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts. :) 

Revise the amount mistakenly taken & disclose the same amount in the corresponding month !
