In this regards, my point of view is that, GST will be applicable only on the value of goods and Recipient will prepare the Delivery Challan and will return back the packing containers. Further, this issue has been clarified by the Board vide Circular No. 53/2018 dated 09.08.2018, the relevant portion is reproduced below:-
"Though, the refinery would be liable to pay GST on such returned quantity of petroleum gases, when the same is supplied by it to any other person. It is reiterated that this clarification would be applicable mutatis mutandis on other cases involving supply of goods, where feed stock is retained by the recipient and remaining residual material is returned back to the supplier. The net billing is done on the amount retained by the recipient."
