Issue: Excess ITC Claims Post Delinking of CN/DN from Original Invoice

After September 2020, based on the 28th GST Council Meeting recommendation, the GST system delinked Credit Notes (CN) and Debit Notes (DN) from their original invoices.
While this change simplified reporting, it inadvertently opened a loophole, enabling taxpayers to potentially claim excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) in cases where CN/DN values exceeded the corresponding invoice amount.

Proposed Solution

To address this issue, a system-level filter can be implemented on the GST portal: For a single GSTIN, the total value of credit notes accepted should not exceed the total value of invoices issued to that same GSTIN.
Rather than reinstating invoice-level linking, this GSTIN-level linking approach would Maintain flexibility and ease of compliance for taxpayers, prevent the misuse of excess CNs across multiple invoices & Ensure accurate ITC flow and control over credit reversals in B2B transactions.
This simple validation mechanism would effectively close the loophole while preserving the operational benefits introduced by the delinking measure.
