FAQ :

The main change is that Table 4 of GSTR-3B can now accept negative values, specifically in Table 4(A) and 4D(2).

These changes have been applicable from the tax period of January 2023 onwards.

The impact of credit notes and their amendments will now be auto-populated in Table 4(A) of GSTR-3B on a net-off basis, instead of being shown as ITC reversal in Table 4(B).

Taxpayers can report negative values in Table 4(A) if the value of credit notes becomes higher than the sum of invoices and debit notes combined.

Taxpayers are advised to carefully review the instructions and help text provided in GSTR-2B and the system-generated GSTR-3B PDF before filing.
