Issue a GST credit note for a settled claim
Turn a settled claim into a Rule 53(1A)-compliant GST credit note in ClaimDS, with GSTIN/HSN validation and the ITC-reversal step tracked.
A settled claim usually becomes a GST credit note — a tax document with required particulars, not just a ledger adjustment. This tutorial issues one correctly. For the background, see GST credit notes for rebates.

Step-by-step
Start from a settled claim
Open a claim that has been accepted or adjusted in reconciliation. Because the credit note is generated from the same claim ClaimDS already reconciled, the amounts come from one source — not a re-keyed figure.
Generate the credit note
Choose Issue credit note. ClaimDS pre-fills the supplier and recipient details, the original invoice reference, the taxable value and the tax — the particulars Rule 53(1A) requires.
Check GSTIN and HSN
Confirm the GSTIN and HSN are valid (ClaimDS validates them for you) and that intra-state vs inter-state tax is split correctly into CGST+SGST or IGST.
Track the ITC reversal
A credit note reduces output tax for you and requires the recipient to reverse the matching input tax credit. ClaimDS tracks the reversal on both sides so it does not become a mismatch in the returns later.
Issue and reconcile
Issue the credit note. It is now tied to the claim and the original invoice, and the position reconciles automatically — ready for the books and any assessment.
