The Finance Ministry is taking major steps to curb fake input tax credit under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. The Revenue Department, under the Ministry of Finance, may restrict any editing or manual intervention in GSTR-3B. A source close to the development told Zee Media, “The GST department is planning to curb fake input tax credit through new regulations.”

The source added that in the first phase, which may kick in from April 2026, GST is likely to freeze the editing of output details in GSTR-3B, where tax liability is declared — this data will directly flow from GSTR-1.

Another source told Zee Media, “From July, which is the second phase of this reform, input tax credit entries in GSTR-3B may no longer be entered manually; they will automatically flow from GSTR-2B.”
