I had a b2b sales return of Rs.1,42,000 in October 2022. Accordingly a credit note was issued and filled in GSTR1.

Though since then my outward sale has been very low to adjust in GSTR3B. Hence I have been adusting that credit note in subsequent months of Nov, Dec & so on.

Now after March 2023 there is still Rs.90,000 left to be adjusted. Can I keep adjusting it in next financial year 23-24 in Returns of April, May and so on? Or will I have to claim a refund?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how to handle a significant B2B sales return credit note when outward sales are low. The user can continue adjusting the remaining credit note amount in subsequent GSTR-3B filings until the due date of the October 2023 return or the annual return filing date, whichever comes first. Alternatively, a refund can be claimed as per GST Circular 137/2020.
