Dear Experts,
we are manufacturer of footwears. Can we sale raw material like rexin etc. as well can we purchase finished goods for sale as such after add our profit?
Moreover, we have add business type "Manufacturer" on GST. Should we add trading also when the Major Amendment option available in GST portal? Before amendment, can we do the above supply.

Hi Rakesh,
Great questions about combining manufacturing and trading under GST! Let me clarify point-by-point:
---
### 1. **Can a manufacturer sell raw materials (like rexin)?**
* Yes, as a manufacturer, you **can sell raw materials** like rexin.
* This would be treated as a **trading activity**.
* You should maintain proper stock and accounts for raw material sales separately.
---
### 2. **Can you purchase finished goods and sell them after adding profit?**
* Yes, you can **purchase finished goods and sell them without further processing**.
* This is also considered a **trading activity**.
* You need to track this activity separately from manufacturing.
---
### 3. **On GST portal, if your major business is "Manufacturer," should you add "Trading" in your business type?**
* Ideally, yes. If you **engage in trading activity alongside manufacturing**, you should update your business activity on the GST portal to reflect **both**:
* **Manufacturer**
* **Trader/Dealer**
* This ensures correct classification and tax treatment for all your transactions.
---
### 4. **Before amending on GST portal, can you do the above supply?**
* Yes, you **can supply raw materials and finished goods** even if your registered business type is only "Manufacturer."
* However, it’s **better to update your business activity** to include "Trading" to avoid any compliance issues during audit or assessment.
* Also, GST invoices and returns will be more accurate if business types are correctly updated.

### **Summary**
| Question | Answer |
| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Selling raw materials as manufacturer | Allowed, treated as trading |
| Buying & selling finished goods (trading) | Allowed, treated as trading |
| Updating GST business type | Recommended to add "Trading" alongside "Manufacturer" |
| Doing above before GST amendment | Allowed, but better to update soon |
---
If you want, I can guide you on how to amend your GST registration for adding trading activity or draft a notice to your tax consultant.
Would that help?
