Supply of asset at retail outlets, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[JOHN SHANNEL]

hi, My organisation is in beverage sector. we give fridge to shops/retail outlets to ensure supply of chilled beverages to consumers. we also pay rent to retail outlets for the space occupied.

My question is , what is the document with which i need to send the asset to shops/retail outlets.? does this considered as supply?

SH.JOHN SHANNEL JI,

In this scenario, since the ownership of fridge etc. remains with your organization, so it is not supply. It is not a permanent transfer. Hence such temporary transfer is not covered under Schedule-1. You can send such assets under 'delivery challan'. under Rule 138 A(5)(b) of CGST Rules.

Yes..agree with kasturi sir. Also this is not in the nature of gift and thereby credit should also be eligible...

Thanks for the reply, would also like to check is there any timelimit for taking back the asset from the outlet. eg; can he use the asset for 5 years?

Since this transaction is not job work, there is no time limit to get back the goods.
