If you opt for composition scheme in GST then no Input Tax Credit will be available in respect of goods in stock. You will have to pay tax on turnover at the rate of 1%. You will not be able to charge GST while selling the goods.

Mr deep we suggest you to first workout your closing stock and amount of existing tax involved. then accordingly choose which procedure suitable/benefit to your business i.e. go for composition scheme or to choose regular GST tax payment.

In your case it would be as follows You would have to file a Stock Statement containing details of Closing Stock held on the date on which GST comes into effect in Form CMP-03. Further you would be required to pay tax on goods held in stock which have been purchased from Unregistered Persons under the reverse charge mechanism. In case of goods where VAT has already been paid no need to pay more tax.
