GST Update: Separate Tab for Rejected Credit Notes Provided in Outward Invoice Management System
The GSTN introduced a dedicated “Rejected Records” tab in the Outward Supplies section of the Invoice Management System (IMS) on 18th February 2026.
With this update, taxpayers can more efficiently identify cases where the tax liability needs to be added back in GSTR-3B. This new feature is designed to display rejected Credit Notes and similar documents in a separate and easily identifiable manner.
This new update mainly helps suppliers when a buyer rejects a document, such as a Credit Note or Debit Note. The following are the key points:
- A new tab will show all rejected Credit Notes, Debit Notes, and their amended records.
- It clearly identifies the cases where the supplier needs to add back tax liability in Form GSTR-3B, because the recipient did not accept the adjustment.
- Suppliers can also download the data in Excel to match it with their own accounting records.
- If a rejection happened by mistake, the supplier can report the same document again in Form GSTR-1A or the amendment tables in later months, so the recipient can accept it.
