The debit note is invalid without signature. The IOU is also a kind of loan contract. Since it is a contract, it needs to be reached out of the true intention of the parties. Without the signature of the parties, it cannot be proved that it is the true intention of the parties. If it cannot be proved, it cannot be proved that the contract is valid. Therefore, a debit note without the signature of the party concerned is invalid.
