Dear Chandramouli,
In case of purchase / sales returns the VAT element should also be reversed (Reverse Entry). But the VAT shall be elgible for Input before six months from the date of return of goods and date of sale / purchase of ggods.
Secondly, the Input / Output VAT shall not be eligible for credit, if the date of return of goods is after six months from the date of purchase / sale
Following JV is to be passed :-

(Being Goods returned by us)
In case of Sales Return

To Sundry Debtor A/c Cr.
