Reject the record in IMS with a remark. A credit note from a supplier you never dealt with should not reduce your ITC.

Provisions

Invoice Management System (GSTN advisories, October 2024 onwards); Sec 155, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Wrong GSTIN entries happen through typing errors and sometimes misuse. Rejecting ensures the credit note does not cut your credit. Also write to the supplier through the portal's communication feature and inform your jurisdictional officer in writing, so there is a record if a notice comes later. Keep screenshots of the IMS record and your action.
