This discussion addresses a scenario where a subcontractor (B) purchased cement under the main contractor's (A) name to secure a lower rate for government road projects. The GST input credit appeared on A's GSTIN. The core question is how to correctly transfer this GST amount to the subcontractor B, especially since B directly paid the cement company. Further clarification is needed on the invoice details ('bill to' and 'ship to') to determine the best way to facilitate this transfer.
If "A" is a main contractor and "B" is a sub-contractor and "B" had purchased Cement in the name of "A" as the cement rate will be low if "B" purchases cement in the name of "A" as the work is government work i.e laying of CC Roads to Rural Villages".
Since "B" purchased cement in the name of ''A" GST input reflected on "A" GSTIN. Now how to transfer the GST amount to the subcontractor. Please clarify.
Note:- Payment made towards Purchase of Cement to Cement company directly by "B"
