GST is applicable on supply of goods or services. Scrap being goods GST is applicable. If you are supplying within the State then CGST and SGST has to be charged. If it is inter state supply then IGST need to be charged. The input tax credit of the tax paid while purchasing new batteries can be utilised against the GST payable.
