which discrepancy is communicated shall be added to the output tax liability of the supplier,
in such manner as may be prescribed, in his return for the month succeeding the month in
which the discrepancy is communicated.
               (6) The amount in respect of any reduction in output tax liability that is found to be on
account of duplication of claims shall be added to the output tax liability of the supplier in his
return for the month in which such duplication is communicated.
               (7) The supplier shall be eligible to reduce, from his output tax liability, the amount
added under sub-section (5) if the recipient declares the details of the credit note in his valid
return within the time specified in sub-section (9) of section 39.

for reduction in the output tax liability till the corresponding additions are made under the
said sub-sections.
              (9) Where any reduction in output tax liability is accepted under sub-section (7), the
interest paid under sub-section (8) shall be refunded to the supplier by crediting the amount
in the corresponding head of his electronic cash ledger in such manner as may be prescribed:
         Provided that the amount of interest to be credited in any case shall not exceed the
amount of interest paid by the recipient.
