Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct procedure when goods are returned long after the initial sale. It addresses whether a buyer should issue a debit note or a sales invoice, especially when the return occurs more than six months after the purchase. The advice also touches upon the specific deadlines for issuing credit or debit notes relative to the financial year and annual return filing dates.

On or before the thirtieth day of September following the end of the financial year in which such supply was made, or
The date of filing of the relevant annual return for the financial year,
whichever is earlier. It may be noted that annual return is required to be filed under section 30(2) on or before 31st December of the financial year following the relevant financial year. In cases where such annual return is filed after 30th September, the time limit for issuing credit/debit note will be 30th September only.
