Debit Note (including supplementary invoice) and credit note can be issued by the supplier only as per Section 34 of CGST Act.

Recipient can issue debit note without GST implications. In other words, financial credit notes and debit notes can be issued by the buyer/recipient.

See Para No.D of Circular No.92/11/2019-GST dated 7.3.19.

Debit note issued by buyer becomes a credit note to a supplier. However, as rightly stated by Sri Kasturi Sir either credit note or debit note has to be issued by a supplier alone. So even if B has issued debit note for GST amount, A is also required to issue credit note.

[Shilpi Jain]

You could consider to take the input tax credit even if the supplier had disclosed it after the time limit under section 16(4) and contest the matter if required, since department has received its taxes and it is merely disclosure in GSTR-1 which was missed or done later which is a procedural lapse and should not lead to denial of credit

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

I agree with Shilpi Mam's view.

AI Summary

Supplier issuance of debit or credit notes governs GST adjustments; buyer notes lack GST effect and supplier must issue credit.
Suppliers alone effectuate GST adjustments by issuing debit notes or credit notes; buyer-issued debit notes are financial instruments without independent GST effect and require the supplier to issue a corresponding credit note. Administrative guidance treats recipient financial notes as non-GST-adjusting, and where suppliers disclose supplies late, recipients may still assert input tax credit subject to eligibility and contest procedural denials, supported by supplier payment and disclosure evidence.
