Credit note under gst

Goods Sale bill issued on 10/10/2019 but due to some reasons credit note issued on 04/08/2020. 1st Situation : So my Question is that can we reported the credit note and reduce sale amount of Aug 2020 in Aug 2020 GSTR-1.
2nd Situation : if we issued credit note on 15/10/2020 then can we reported the credit note and reduce sale amount of Oct 2020 in Oct 2020 GSTR-1.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around issuing GST credit notes. It explains that a credit note can be reported to reduce sales in the current GSTR-1 period if the relevant return hasn't been filed. However, there are time limits for adjusting tax liability, generally until the end of the financial year or the due date for filing the annual return, whichever is earlier.

You can if return not filed by you in both situations
In 2nd situation you won't be able to reduce your tax liability (Refer Section 34) .

In first situation you can issue credit note. 

But in second situation, a credit note can be issued only till 30th September following the end of the financial year in which supply related to such credit note was made. As per circular 72/46/2018 dated 26.10.2018, there is no time limit to issue credit note but only for effecting ‘tax adjustment’. So credit note can be issued without tax adjustment.

Thanks a lot
