Quick Summary
This discussion explores the complexities of issuing debit notes for purchase returns, particularly when suppliers delay credit notes. It clarifies that a debit note reduces receivables for purchase returns, while a credit note reduces payables for sales returns. The advice suggests raising a debit note when the supplier issues a credit note to align ledger balances and manage GST implications.

Better to raise debit note when your supplier issues a credit note and also take effect of this in gstr3b in same month i.e. reversal of itc claimed .

debit note is issued when there is a purchase return and reduces receivables, while a credit note is issued when there is a sales return and reduces payables. 

When the buyer records a purchase return, it can be either as a credit to its inventory account (if there are few such transactions) or to a purchase returns account (if management wants to segregate this information for further analysis). The offsetting debit is to the accounts payable account.

What to of Eway bill which is been raised before and credit not raised by party after 2 months and what to do with inventory before 2 month how to show it in Books.
