When a customer returns goods, the key question is whether a credit note issued by the seller or a debit note issued by the buyer is valid. Generally, a credit note issued by the seller is the legally recognised method for amending or revising the value of goods in an original tax invoice, which helps in reducing tax liability. An e-way bill generated based solely on a buyer's debit note is typically not considered valid for such returns.
