Dear Sunil,

Debit Note:- It is an advice issued to a person whose account you are Debiting in ur books...

Eg:- Issued to Debtors - After raising of invoice u noticed that one of the product was supplied at a lower price..

Issued to Creditors - After receipt of invoice from Creditor u have realized that some of the goods are to be returned, or of bad quality so u will debit his a/c.

Credit Note:- It is an advice issued to a person whose account you are Crediting in ur books...

In short it is just a formal intimation that we have debited/credited ur A/c by xxxx (amount) on account of ____________(Reason)
