Analysis
Example: a retailer in Kanpur returns damaged goods worth Rs 75,000 to a Delhi distributor. The retailer generates an e-way bill with reason 'Sales return' on a delivery challan, or the distributor generates it as recipient. The distributor then issues a credit note and reports it. Do not reuse the original sale e-way bill.
