Credit note tax adjustment limit in gst

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the limits and rules for adjusting output tax on credit and debit notes within India's GST system. While there's generally no specific monetary limit for these adjustments, credit notes for sales returns typically need to be issued within six months of the invoice date. For returns after this period, especially for B2C transactions where the customer cannot issue a resale invoice, alternative procedures may be required. It's also noted that adjustments can often be made up to the filing of the annual GST return, specifically until September 30th following the financial year.

07 January 2020 sir,
For B2C customer what is the rule? they cannot issue sale invoice.
Also i came to know from reliable source that the limit for issuing debit and credit note is financial year full upto 30th sep when we are filing annual return of gst. so 1 and half years we can adjust output tax. for eg fy 19-20 we can adjust output tax till sep 2020. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance
