This discussion addresses how to handle sales returns and issue credit notes when your business revenue is impacted, such as during a lockdown. The advice provided suggests raising all credit notes and filing them in GSTR 1 as permitted. For GSTR 3B, which doesn't allow negative values, the recommendation is to adjust the amounts over time until fully accounted for, with the possibility of claiming the credit in the annual return.

Raise credit note and show it in GSTR 1 which is allowed. Only problem is GSTR 3b which doesn't allow negative value. Consider it in annual return you will get credit.
