Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around purchase returns and debit notes under GST. You generally cannot issue a debit note for a purchase made in a previous financial year (like FY 18-19) if the deadline for adjustments has passed. The supplier also doesn't revise their output tax liability based on your debit note for past periods. While there are time limits for purchase returns, these are typically linked to the filing of the next financial year's GST returns or the annual return, whichever is earlier, rather than a strict six-month rule.

No.You can't raise debit note.

No.Supplier need not revise output liability for earlier period for the debit note since he pays GST on such debit note


Yes.There is time limit.6 months from end of FY or deadline for annual return whichever is earlier




Section 34(2) of the CGST act says that any registered dealer can issue a credit note in relation to supply of goods or services up to a period of six months from the end of the financial year or the date of filing the annual return, whichever is earlier

As the time limit of previous year's transactions can adjust or rectifying on of before filing of next FY September GST returns or Annual return (previous year) which is earlier.
