What is a debit note?

A debit note is the document a GST-registered supplier issues to increase the value or tax of a tax invoice already issued: when the price charged was too low, extra quantity was supplied, freight or other charges were added later, or tax was charged short.

Tax on a debit note is payable in the month you issue it, and the buyer can claim input tax credit on it.

Debit note format

A GST debit note shows your name, address and GSTIN; the words "Debit note"; its own serial number of up to 16 characters and date; the customer's name, address and GSTIN; the number and date of the original invoice; the extra taxable value and tax; and your signature.

Use the same HSN and GST rate as the original invoice, and keep the debit note series separate from your invoices.

Good to know

When do I issue a debit note?

When you charged less than you should have on a tax invoice: a lower price, missing quantity, freight added later, or short tax.

Who issues a debit note under GST?

The supplier issues it to the buyer. Buyers sometimes send their own "debit note" for returns, but under GST that adjustment is the supplier's credit note.

Is GST charged on a debit note?

Yes. Charge tax on the extra value at the original invoice's rate; it's payable in the month the debit note is issued.

Is there a time limit for debit notes?

No. Unlike credit notes, GST sets no deadline for issuing a debit note, but report it in the return for the month you issue it.

What is the difference between a debit note and a credit note?

A debit note increases an invoice; a credit note reduces it. Both refer to the original invoice.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. The debit note is made in your browser and its details never leave your device.
