Urgent-gst treatment and presentation in trading account


This query is : Resolved 

05 September 2018 Kindly clarify which treatment is Correct.
1. In Trading Account (example) Gross Purchase Less Input GST Credit = Net Purchase.1,12,000-12,000= 1,00,000/-
Gross Sales Less Output GST paid = Net Sales. 1,50,000-20,000=1,30,000/-
And GST Payable Say Rs.8,000/-s shown in the balance Sheet

2. In Trading Account : Purchase (Net of GST) =1,00,000/-
Sales(Net of GST)= 1,30,000/-
GST payable Rs.8,000/- Shown as liability in Balance Sheet.

My Query is; In Trading Account is it mandatory to Show Purchase and Sale inclusive of GST and then deduct it for Net Purchase and Sale.
OR
Can we show Net purchase and Net Sales (exclusive of GST) directly in Trading Account.
GST Receivable or payable is a balance sheet item
.I am concerned with Presentation in Trading Account. Which method is correct and to be followed to comply with the provision of I-Tax for Tax Audit.
Experts,Thanks in Advance
Please suggest me .
