storage of goods outside the premises-reg, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Ramakrishnan Seshadri]

Dear Sir,

We are the manufacture of automobile parts supplying to OEM customer. We had a doubt.

We are importing raw materials from outside india. One of our raw materials informs that he will supply some bulk rawmaterial to us. He ask us to pay duty and clear the consignment and ask us to store in private warehouse and clear the rawmaterial from private warehouse.

In this case what is the procedure to be followed for storing goods outside the premises

How to take gst credit on the raw materials.

Dear experts please clarify.

Thanks & Regards.

Sir, In this case, my point of view is that, you need to add private warehouse as your additional place of business and you can store the goods there. You can also take the eligible ITC of the raw material imported.

If you add the warehouse as an additional place of business then you can take input tax credit on receipt of material in the warehouse.

Dear Sir,

The Private warehouse is maintained by the importer and he will pay all the charges like rent and other things.

We will not pay any charges .Our Job is to clear the consignment and keep in that warehouse,Whenever we need we can take the consignment from the ware house.

How to go about it in this case. Please clarify.

Thanks & REgards,

In this scenario, in our view, you need to take registration. However, in VAT Regime the legal position was settled but in GST Regime there is no such clarification. You may also go through the definition of additional place of business and also get it clarified from your Jurisdictional Commissioner.
