Received short amount

A seller received a partial payment for cotton seeds, with the buyer claiming the goods were moist and settling for a reduced amount. The seller is unsure how to account for the short payment of Rs 10,844, especially since GST was already paid on the full invoice value. The discussion explores options like treating the shortfall as a discount, issuing a credit note, or writing it off as a bad debt, with advice on proper accounting adjustments.
