Respected Sir / Madam,

We have raised Sale Invoice for sending goods to a customer against Advance received, in September 2020, but unfortunately material not sent and Advance money was refunded to customer and order was canceled accordingly.
At present, how can I adjust or reverse the liability because GSTR 1 also filed in October 2020. As on March 2021, Debtor's Balance is reflected in our books.
Kindly advise.

As per GST advance on goods doesn't attract gst.
However you have raised Invoice and filled gst too. Now you can Generate Credit note to the extent full invoice value.
As per Debtors account concern Credit Bank/cash account for refund of advance.
So that your sale get adjusted with sales return and advance get adjusted with refund.

Yes you are not allowed to raise credit note.
Since sales made before 6months you have 2 option.

1) If sold to Registered person
Return is considered as deemed Supply in the hands of Buyer. In order to keep process simple just just get invoice from buyer and claim ITC.

2) If sold to URP
You have to show in amend table 10.You will lost your ITC.
