02 August 2019 circular no. CBEC/20/16/04/2017-GST dated 26th October 2018, has laid down the procedure which can be followed in case of return of time expired drugs.

In case , expired medicines are being returned by the registered person , it will be treated as fresh supply by the said person . He will raise invoice with applicable rate and you can take ITC on it .

In case of composite dealer , he will raise bill of supply and pay tax at applicable rate . In this case , recipient can not take ITC

Unregistered person will not charge any GST on returned medicines
