A user received a bill from their forwarder for container storage charges that was issued as a tax invoice cum debit note. This has caused the bill to appear in the debit note column of their GSTR-2B, preventing them from claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC). The supplier claims the bills are system-generated and cannot be altered. The user is seeking advice on whether to claim ITC despite the debit note classification or if they should request the supplier to amend the bill.

Dear all, i made payment to our forwarder for container storage charges in Dec'20. They gave a bill like tax invoice cum debit note instead of tax invoice. while checking our 2B,that above mentioned bill shown in debit note column because they put the bill under debit note instead of B2B column of GSTR-1. so i can't take ITC for the above bill during the month. hence they told like "that every bill is system generated through IRN,so we can't change like manual". now the issue is 1.whether shall i take ITC for the bill even though they marked as debit note? or 2.shall i inform them to amend changes in the bill? kindly rectify me the problem.
