24 January 2024 Sir,

I want know the Practical solution in respect of the following case. One of my client was a trader in building material. One of the product I have sold to the customer was damaged one and the same was returned. In that case I have settled the issue by issuing credit note in respect of the same and issuing the fresh sale invoice. As per conversation with supplier they have provided new item under delivery challan with zero value. I want to know the practical implication in respect of the same. How can we account this DC documents. Under GST this DC documents was enough for Replacement (DC does not show any tax portion and it was shown under zero percentage- whole value was shown as discount). Please provide an immediate solution.

25 January 2024 Where free replacement is provided to the customers without consideration under warranty, no GST is chargeable on such replacement. In such cases goods may be sent on delivery challan as provided in rule 55 of the CGST Rules, 2017.
