* When a **Debit Note** or **Credit Note** is issued relating to a transaction on which TDS was originally deducted, the adjustment should also reflect TDS implications.
* **If the Debit Note increases the taxable amount** (like additional charges), then TDS should be deducted on the increased amount as per applicable section.
* **If the Credit Note reduces the taxable amount** (like a discount or returned service), then TDS adjustment needs to be made accordingly — i.e., TDS on the reduced amount.
* The **party receiving the Debit/Credit Note** must deduct TDS on the net amount payable after such adjustments.
* In short: **TDS applies on the actual amount payable after considering Debit/Credit Notes**.

**Practical approach:**
1. If you receive a Debit Note increasing your payable amount, deduct TDS on that amount and pay accordingly. 2. If you receive a Credit Note reducing your payable amount, adjust previously deducted TDS accordingly (possibly by claiming refund or adjusting future TDS).
