In my view, the value of the goods can be kept same (assuming that the goods sent in one lot is received in one lot). This is because the law says that goods sent to job worker must be received back. So, while sending back the material the job worker must give reference of the original invoice. In ITC-04 the same is required to be furnished by the principal. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = My previous reply is toward the material sent and material received back. And, in respect of the job work charges there is no need of generating e-way bill. E-way bill is only for the movement of goods and not for service. - Reply B .....
