01 August 2024 For bringing stock back from a dealer whose GST registration has been canceled, you will need to handle the situation carefully to comply with GST regulations. Here's a detailed approach:

### **Handling Stock Return from a Dealer with Canceled GST Registration**

1. **Raising Self-Invoice:**
- **Self-Invoice:** Since the dealer's GST registration is canceled, the dealer cannot issue an invoice. Therefore, you, as the recipient, can issue a self-invoice to document the movement of goods.
- **IGST Application:** When bringing the stock from Bihar to Bangalore (an interstate movement), you should raise a self-invoice and charge IGST on the value of the goods being transferred. This is because the movement of goods between states is subject to IGST.

2. **Documentation Requirements:**
- **Self-Invoice Content:** The self-invoice should contain all necessary details such as the description of goods, quantity, value, GST details (IGST in this case), and the reason for raising the self-invoice.
- **Transportation Documents:** Ensure that you have proper transportation documents and waybills (if applicable) for the movement of goods.

3. **Credit Note for Old Stock:**
- **Credit Note Timing:** You are correct that generally, a credit note should be issued within one year of the original invoice date. Since the stock is more than 1.5 years old, issuing a credit note might be challenging if the original invoice date exceeds this period.
- **Accounting Treatment:** If a credit note cannot be issued due to the time limitation, you may need to account for the stock in your books as follows:
- **Reverse the Input Tax Credit (ITC):** If you had claimed ITC on the stock originally, you might need to reverse it in your GST returns as the goods are no longer in your possession.
- **Adjust Inventory:** Adjust the inventory records to reflect the return of stock.

4. **GST Compliance and Reporting:**
- **GST Returns:** Ensure that the self-invoice and the IGST charged are properly reported in your GST returns. You will need to include the details of the self-invoice in your GSTR-1 and claim any eligible ITC in GSTR-3B.
- **Cancellation of GST Registration:** Since the dealer's GST registration has been canceled, ensure that any ITC claimed earlier related to the dealer’s invoices is adjusted as per GST rules.

5. **Consult with a GST Professional:**
- **Professional Guidance:** Given the complexity of GST regulations and the specifics of your case, it’s advisable to consult a GST professional or tax advisor. They can help ensure that you comply with all legal requirements and handle any specific nuances in your situation.

### Summary:

- **Self-Invoice:** You can raise a self-invoice with IGST for bringing back the stock from the dealer’s location.
- **Credit Note:** Credit notes are typically issued within one year of the invoice date. If it's not possible, adjust inventory and ITC accordingly.
- **Documentation:** Ensure all documentation and GST reporting are accurate and comply with regulations.

Handling stock returns from a dealer with canceled GST registration requires careful documentation and compliance with GST laws to avoid issues.
