09 July 2024 If you have reported a negative IGST value in GSTR-1 (indicating an IGST refund), but you're unable to claim it as input tax credit (ITC) in GSTR-3B due to the system not accepting negative values, here’s how you can handle this situation:

### Steps to Claim IGST Refund in GSTR-3B:

1. **Understand the Negative IGST in GSTR-1**:
- Negative IGST in GSTR-1 indicates that you have paid more IGST than you have collected, resulting in an IGST refund.

2. **Reporting in GSTR-3B**:
- Since GSTR-3B does not accept negative values directly in the ITC fields, you need to adjust this refund manually in the appropriate fields.

3. **Adjustment in GSTR-3B**:
- In GSTR-3B, under Table 3.1 (Details of Outward Supplies and inward supplies liable to reverse charge):
- Enter the IGST amount you paid correctly under "Total Taxable Value," "IGST," "CGST," and "SGST" columns for your outward supplies.
- However, for the excess IGST paid (which is indicated by the negative value in GSTR-1), you will adjust this in subsequent tables.

4. **Utilization of IGST Refund**:
- In GSTR-3B, Table 4 (Eligible ITC):
- Enter the amount of IGST refund (-2873234/-) in the appropriate field where adjustments for IGST refund are allowed.
- Label this adjustment clearly as "Refund of excess IGST paid" or similar, to ensure clarity.

5. **Additional Documentation**:
- Maintain documentation supporting your claim for the IGST refund, including copies of GSTR-1 showing the negative IGST value filed, along with any communication or correspondence with the GST authorities if required.

**Review and Submission**:
- Before final submission of GSTR-3B, review all entries to ensure accuracy and compliance with GST regulations.
- Once reviewed, submit GSTR-3B and ensure acknowledgment of submission.

### Note:
- **System Limitations**: The GSTN portal currently does not allow direct input of negative values in ITC fields in GSTR-3B. Therefore, manual adjustments are necessary.
- **Consultation**: If you encounter difficulties or uncertainties in claiming the IGST refund, consider consulting with a GST practitioner or tax advisor who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

By following these steps, you can effectively claim the IGST refund indicated by the negative IGST value reported in GSTR-1, ensuring compliance with GST regulations and maximizing your eligible input tax credits.
