Quick Summary
A business purchased goods worth Rs. 20 Lakhs in February 2024 (FY23-24) and received a commercial discount credit note in April 2024 (FY24-25). The core question is whether this discount should be accounted for in FY23-24 or FY24-25. Further clarification is sought on whether the discount should reduce the purchase cost or be shown separately as discount received in the profit and loss account, and if this aligns with accounting policies.

There are two observation:
1. goods purchased invoice raised on credit basis.
assume payment not made till 15th April 2024.
2. Credit note to be adjusted in fy 24-25 and payment to be made after adjustment.
Discount to be shown separately.
Discount to be shown in fy 23-24 or 24-25.
If discount effect give to purchase account i.e to reduce purchase cost, is adhere to accounting policy or not
