[PAWANKUMAR GARG]

Sir

Is there any clarification on the above subject issue to the effect that Form 3-B is to be filed in case of turnover below 1.5 core.

Whether commission sales of katcha arhtiya on account of wheat and paddy has to be reported in exempted column no.8 of GSTR-1.

What is katcha arhtiya?

[KASTURI SETHI]

There are two types of Commission Agents Katcha Arhtiya (Temporary Commission Agent) and Permanent Commission Agent. Both are intermediaries and arrange to sell the crop of farmers. Legally both are same as both charge commission for making arrangement to sell the crop of farmers in the market. Katcha Arhitya gives the money in advance to the farmer without physical presence of crop through out the year. As and when the farmer gives the crop to the temporary agent for sale to the buyer to be arranged by the agent, he recovers the amount of commission from the sale proceeds of the crop.

The other commission agent who arranges the buyer for temporary commission agent gives the commission to him only after when the crop is lifted. Both do not account for the sale proceeds of crop in their books of account. Only amount of commission is accounted for.

This is as per practice being followed in Punjab.
