IGST of CN can adjusted against CGST and SGST

If in a month, Sale is of SGST & CGST and there is Credit note of IGST.

How to report this in GSTR3B?

Can we set off CGST & SGST against that credit note, and put the net figure in GSTR 3B?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle IGST credit notes when your sales for the month consist of SGST & CGST. You cannot offset an IGST credit note against CGST or SGST liabilities. Instead, it must be set off against future IGST outward supplies in the following month, or you can claim a refund if there's no sufficient IGST output liability. This is in line with GST regulations and circulars.

You have to wait for Out ward IGST supply , in the next month , same credit note mentioned in query will be reduce in GSTR 3B from IGST outward supply .you can not reduce from CGST and SGST outward supply ,this is my opinion you may confirm from other also.
Such credit note will be shown in following month where igst output liability is sufficient to set up against it but not later than 30th sep of next financial year
As per S.no.3 of Circular 137/07/2020 GST ,
If there is no output liability against credit not to be adjusted , registered person can claim refund for the same under "Excess payment of tax, if any" through form GST RFD-01.

Hence you can claim refund for the same.
