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.
