A trader returned goods to a seller using a delivery challan and e-way bill instead of a debit note. While the supplier must issue a credit note to reduce GST liability, the recipient should also issue an accounting debit note. This ensures proper accounting, reduces Input Tax Credit (ITC) accordingly, and records the reason for the return.

Though the supplier has to issue credit note in order to reduce the GST liability. The recipient has to issue Debit note for accounting purpose and to reduce the ITC to the extent of Debit note and also to record the purpose for issuing debit note.
