Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the time limits for issuing credit notes for sales made in the financial year 2022-2023. Generally, credit notes must be issued before the earlier of 30th September of the following year or the date of filing the annual return. While credit notes can technically be issued after these cut-off dates, any taxes paid cannot be reversed, and only the base value can be adjusted. It's also confirmed that a purchaser cannot issue a debit note to their supplier directly.

14 January 2024 I think It should be declared on earlier of the below dates:
1.30th September of the following year in which such supply was made.
2. The actual date of filing the annual return of the concerned period.

Again you can issue any CN/DN after cut off dates as well but taxes paid can not be reversed and only base value can be issued as CN/DN
