Non payment of consideration


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the legality of adjusting outstanding payments against mutual purchases under GST Rule 37, which mandates consideration payment within 180 days. While it's a common commercial practice to offset balances, the experts confirm that this method is generally considered valid and should stand during tax assessment proceedings. The authorities are unlikely to object to such adjustments.

03 June 2020 Dear Experts,
Mr. A purchased the goods from Mr . B of value say 1 Lakh, also Mr. B purchased the goods from Mr. A value say 50000/- hence balance Rs. 50000/- paid to Mr. A by Mr. B,

However rule 37 of CGST rule 2017 state that consideration has to be paid within the 180 days,

Pls clarify is it fair practice to adjust balance against such purchases' will it be legally stand during assessment procceding,

Thanks & Regards
Nikhil sharma

03 June 2020 Yes, it is fair practice to adjust balance against such purchases' and it will be legally stand during assessment procceding,


03 June 2020 But sir! I think in act. Or rule thereof No where it is written that we can adjust such transactions

03 June 2020 It's commercial practice and it will be considered as consideration paid. Tax authorities will not object to it.
