But GST TRAN-1 is only for Registered person under the Existing Old Laws. 

IN MY CASE - Dealer is not registered under Old Acts. Moreover, since he is opting for Composition Scheme, he is NOT able to claim Input credit if any available in those stocks. So I don't think he is required to give details of those stocks and file any return in that regard, such as GST TRAN-1.

Please suggest. 

You are partially correct GST Tran-1 form is also for dealers who are not registered in old law but wants to register in GST.

But in your case as your opting for composition scheme, there is no need to file Tran-1 as you are not eligible to book ITC.       Tran-1 form is for transfering the unutilised credit from old law to current regime. Thus in your case there is no need to give details of stock. 

However you have to pay tax in RCM on the stock purchases from unregistered person at approriate rate of commodity, not 1%.

Agreed Rounak.

But One more thing - If that person is paying Tax on Stock of Un-registered dealer on RCM basis, where is this detail required to be given? Becasue only after getting GSTIN , the dealer will be able to pay GST and file returns. Moreover, I have NOT seen any column in the Proposed forms regarding Disclosure of Such stock and payment of RCM on that.

Agreed.

All details of URD Purchase in the particular Quarter (Say Jul-Sep 2017) are to be given in GSTR-4. But what about of URD Stock of June-2017 or before that?
