A debit note, also known as a debit memo, is issued from a buyer to their seller to request a return of funds due to incorrect or damaged goods, purchase cancellation, or other specified circumstances.
Debit Notes and Credit Notes are inevitable parts of retail business due to the process of returns. In GST regime, it is thus crucial for businesses to account for them. A debit note is similar to a credit note, except it’s issued from the buyer's side. In other words, A debit note acts as a buyer's formal request for a credit note from the seller. The document serves as evidence to support a purchase return in the accounting books of a buyer. Therefore, debit notes are issued before a credit note can be created by the supplier.
