I have a question in relation of composition scheme being going to opt by traders. A Trader having a stock of finished goods worth Rs 800000.00 and no ITC in his hand and turnover going to be less than 70 lakh during the FY 17-18 can opt for composition scheme and no ITC . If yes, than he had to pay tax before opting for composition scheme , I.e. whether he has to pay tax at GST rate on his stock of Rs 800000.00 before allowing composition scheme. Or he can simply will be allowed for composition scheme without any payment of tax on stock which he make clears on payment of gst @ 1% as per composition rate.
