Because of the format of Return Filing in GST. As it's supplier who is going to file his outward supply in GSTR 1 , & which is going to Reflect in 2A (Earlier GSTR 2) & on the basis of Credit or Debit note reported in GSTR 1 filed by supplier , the Recepient is allowed to Reduce his ITC . means the Recepient can only Reduce his ITC when supplier has reduced his Output tax by issuing the credit Note & moreover the Recepient cannot file his return before supplier.
GST Return format is based on Matching system means ,the claim for reduction in output tax liability by supplier that matches with the corresponding reduction in the claim for input tax credit by Recepient.
Note : The debit/credit can be issue by Recepient only for Accounting Purpose.
