08 July 2008 what is the definition of scrap???????

how should we determine that any material lying in the godown at the end of the year is scrap or closing stock???

suppose that i m a dealer in cloth, i purchase 100mm cloth out of which i use 95mm for production and i want to consider the other 5mm as scrap but the income tax officer says that it should be considered as closing stock of raw material

so what should i consider the 5 mm cloth (scrap or closing stock of raw material)????

08 July 2008 Things that can not be used for the intended purpose, but may have material value.

You have to determine whether that small piece falls within the above definition, and not the Income tax officer.
