[SURYAKANT MITHBAVKAR]

We have issued debit to our Customer on 17th Feb,2022 for freight charges of Rs. 8,745/- +GST and same has been uploaded on GSTN server in Feb-22 GSTR-1.

Now Customer has noticed that we have charged excess freight amount of Rs.998/-+ GST and they have issued us Debit Note for the same amount (Copy Enclosed). Further they have requested us to issue a credit Note against the same.

Also note that we have started E-invoicing w.e.f. 01/04/22.

Whether we have to issue credit note to them for the same amount. if yes whether we have to generate IRN for the same credit note.

Issue a credit note of the excess amount along with applicable GST. Also generate an IRN for the same.

Yes. Since the credit note is issued after 1st apr IRN would be required to be generated...

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

E-invoice is required to be generated for credit note and debit note. Credit note can be issued with GST as asked by your customer.

AI Summary

E invoicing requirement: generate an IRN when issuing a credit note for excess charges after mandate commencement.
Supplier must issue a credit note for the excess freight plus applicable GST, and because the credit note is issued after the commencement of mandatory e invoicing, an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) must be generated for that credit note; e invoicing/IRN generation also applies to debit notes and credit notes issued post mandate.
