Hello Krishnamoorthi,
No. Assuming a single supply system (GND and positive V+). Generally the maximum reverse voltage is -0.3V.
At -3V it will turn into an expensive forward biased diode, and, depending on the available peak reverse current and duration, can cause damage or destruction.
Is this during a power on/off transient?
