AI Summary

IGST sales return adjustment: generally set off against IGST; incorrect allocations corrected via return amendment or prescribed payment form.
IGST sales returns should be adjusted against IGST output, and CGST/SGST returns against their respective outputs. If IGST was incorrectly adjusted into CGST/SGST, correct by amending subsequent returns (GSTR 3B) or using the prescribed correction/payment form (DRC 03). Alternatively, an excess payment refund may be claimed within the statute's limitation period for refund of excess tax.
