If so, then how the gst will reflect in the dealer's credit ledger, how it will be adjusted.
What will be the dealer's return filing procedure

As per Section 52 & SOP on Cbec site
Govt is liable to deduct 2% TDS if the contract value exceeds 2.5 lac & TDS deducted will reflect in supplier cash ledger & same can be use to discharge output taxl liability or can claim refund by supplier
