Since exchange of goods is also included in the definition of supply, supply of a new component or part in lieu of non-functional or damaged goods will be treated as exchange (free of cost) and the same is liable to gst. 2. You have to issue a regular taxable invoice for the said supply and have to pay the appropriate gst on such supply. 3. if the person who returns the goods as purchase return is a registered person under GST Act he has to return the goods under regular taxable invoice on payment of appropriate gst.

Therefore purchase return cannot be done on debit note. If the person who make purchase return is an individual or who is not procuring such supply in the course of or furtherance of business no procedure is available at present. Since the individual will be unregistered he cannot return the goods under the cover of taxable invoice. - Reply By MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN - The Reply = The reply given .....

The warranty replacement is not subject to gst as no consideration is involved. Board has clarified it. No need to reverse the credit also. I think delivery challah is sufficient or a separate set of invoice can be issued. 2. The recipient need not issue any invoice as it is not a supply , delivery challah is sufficient - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Under the warranty period , goods are repaired and not exchanged. The product is exchanged only under guarantee and now-a ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... -days no company gives guarantee, only warranty is given. The reason behind this is the co.does not want to replace the complete product.So only defective part is replaced. If the cost of warranty is already included in the transactional cost, then GST cannot be charged again. Normally cost of warranty whether in the for m of repair or replacement of part or component is not included in the transactional cost. We cannot foresee such expenses to be incurred in future. Each and every situation is different. One cannot provide free service in the guise of repair or replacement of part. So I am of the view that Sh.Ranganathan' s reply is perfect. - Reply By NS tawar - The Reply = Himansu Sekhar Ji Will share the clarification given b .....

The credit note procedure given which has to be issued by supplier. I shall revert back. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = The sale is to an unregistered customer.
