Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the time limits for issuing supplementary invoices and debit notes under the GST Act. While supplementary invoices generally need to be issued within six months of the financial year's end, debit notes, which can include supplementary invoices for undercharged GST, do not have a specified time limit for issuance.

Dear Eswar Reddy
As per section 31(3) (a) R/w rule 53(2) The Revised Tax Invoice can be Issued only in case where Registered person who has been granted registration with effect from date earlier than the date of issuance of certificate of Registration to him , may issue revised tax Invoice in respect of taxable supplies effected during the period starting from the effective date of registration till the date of issuance of Certificate of Registeration.
Hence in GST the Revised Invoice can issue only against those invoices which being issue by registered person from effective date of registration upto to date of issuance of Certificate of Registeration.

As per Section 34(3)
In case of GST not collected or short charge & collected in invoice Debit Note need to be issued.
As per Explanation under said section " debit not ' shall include a supplementary invoice, hence debit note can said as supplementary invoice.

Now come 2nd Leg Query:

Time Limit To Issue Debit Note & ITC available to Recepient :

Clause 118 of the Bill
seeks to amend sub-section (4) of section
16 of the Central Goods and Services Tax
Act so as to delink the date of issuance of
debit note from the date of issuance of the
underlying invoice for purposes of
availing input tax credit.

Hence the time limit to avail ITC on debit note will be counted from the date of Issue of Debit Note (Can refer Circular 160/16/2021 GST )
