This discussion clarifies the GST implications when giving a gifted item to a regular customer, especially when GST was claimed on the initial purchase. The consensus is that no sales invoice is required for the gift. The item should be removed from inventory without a specific accounting entry for its value, and the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed on the original purchase must be reversed as per Section 17(5) of GST regulations.
