Quick Summary

When goods are short, the supplier should issue a credit note to the recipient. The recipient, in turn, should issue a debit note to the supplier. This process is in line with Section 34 of the CGST Act, which clarifies that only the supplier has the authority to issue credit or debit notes for adjustments against invoices.

As per sec 34 of CGST Act only supplier can issue credit or debit notes.
So, as a recipient you have not any right to issue any documents to the supplier.
In your case supplier should issue a credit note.
