..... ade for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business. Since exchange of goods is also included in the definition of supply, supply of a new component or part in lieu of non-functional or damaged goods will be treated as exchange (free of cost) and the same is liable to gst. 2. You have to issue a regular taxable invoice for the said supply and have to pay the appropriate gst on such supply. 3. if the person who returns the goods as purchase return is a registered person under GST Act he has to return the goods under regular taxable invoice on payment of appropriate gst. According to Section 34 (3) of CGST Act, 2017 where a tax invoice has been issued for supply of any goods or services or both and the t .....

..... axable value or tax charged in that tax invoice is found to be less than the taxable value or tax payable in respect of such supply, the registered person, who has supplied such goods or services or both, shall issue to the recipient a debit note containing such particulars as may be prescribed under rule 53 of CGST Rules, 2017 . Therefore purchase return cannot be done on debit note. If the person who make purchase return is an individual or who is not procuring such supply in the course of or furtherance of business no procedure is available at present. Since the individual will be unregistered he cannot return the goods under the cover of taxable invoice. - Reply By MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN - The Reply = The reply given .....

..... -days no company gives guarantee, only warranty is given. The reason behind this is the co.does not want to replace the complete product.So only defective part is replaced. If the cost of warranty is already included in the transactional cost, then GST cannot be charged again. Normally cost of warranty whether in the for m of repair or replacement of part or component is not included in the transactional cost. We cannot foresee such expenses to be incurred in future. Each and every situation is different. One cannot provide free service in the guise of repair or replacement of part. So I am of the view that Sh.Ranganathan' s reply is perfect. - Reply By NS tawar - The Reply = Himansu Sekhar Ji Will share the clarification given b .....

..... y board . Further pls explain the procedure of delivery challan in case of purchase Return - Reply By Himansu Sekhar - The Reply = FAQ released on it/its by Board. Hope it will solve your query. Question 20: What would be the tax liability on replacement of parts (no consideration is charged from a customer) under a warranty and whether the supplier is required to reverse the input tax credit? Answer: As parts are provided to the customer without a consideration under warranty, no GST is chargeable on such replacement. The value of supply made earlier includes the charges to be incurred during the warranty period. Therefore, the supplier who has undertaken the warranty replacement is not required to reverse the input tax credit on .....

..... orthwhile to note the wording, The value of supply made earlier includes the charges to be incurred during the warranty period If GST has been already paid on the cost of warranty by way of including the same in the transaction cost (value of supply), no need to pay again. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = I too agree with the expert expressing that if the cost of warranty was inbuilt in the cost of product for sale then it means tax has already been paid. then in future if repair happens and material is sent free for replacement GST should not be charged again on the price of the material. - Reply By SUBBIYAH KARUPPIAH - The Reply = Dear Expert What is the document required under GST to return the warranty fa .....
