Quick Summary
This discussion explores the implications of receiving GST credit and debit notes issued beyond the statutory time limits. While the supplier must comply with provisions for issuing these notes, recipients generally cannot reverse tax or claim ITC if the time limit has expired. Ignoring such late-issued notes may not be an offence for the recipient, especially if the related GST annual return has already been filed.

Yes they may effect of loss according to their part

Thank you, but see the credit notes and Debit Notes pertains to FY 18-19 have been issued to us now in FY 20-21 i.e; after the expiry of the time limit. So in this scenario if I ignore to give effect of GST would it be fine or would it be counted as an offence under GST Law?

If both are silent there's no effect and no offense

Thank you for your expedite reply.

Your most welcome
It is not considered any offence because provision for issue of credit note and debit note is required to be complied by supplier and by you. You can not reversed any tax or claimed any ITC in respect to that credit note and debit note.
Yes that is why I wanted to be sure that since the time limit has been expired is it possible to ignore with the GST compliances in respect of such notes?? Also I think time limit for DN & CN is 6mths from the end of relevant FY or the dt of annual return, whichever is latter...Correct me if am wrong.
