Negative sales amount in GSTR-3B

[Nisha Prabhu]

If the sales return amount is more than the sales amount, the negative value is been captured in GSTR-1 but not in GSTR-3B. What to do in such a case?

[ASHISH SHAH]

If it is sale return of taxable goods then you can claim credit in table 4. Otherwise you can net off sales if goods are exemted and sale is more than sales return.
