Yes, it's available.
With or without a formal sales promotion scheme in place, bought out goods that are distributed to dealers, customers, etc. can, by no stretch of imagination, be treated as 'gifts' within the meaning of Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, 2017. As we know, under the Indian Contracts Act, 1872, even oral contracts are recognized and are enforceable and what is more important is the concept of 'consensus ad idem'. So long as it is agreed that companies distributing these goods are legally obligated to do so, these goods cannot be treated as 'gifts' at all.
