Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting entries for scrap sold during job work, especially when dealing with registered and unregistered job workers. It explores whether scrap value should be added to job work charges and who is responsible for accounting for the scrap sale – the principal or the job worker. The consensus leans towards the principal accounting for scrap realisation, potentially offsetting it against job work charges and considering GST implications.

Scrap sold will be normal entry.
registered or unregistered.
It's not as simple as normal entry bcoz if job work charges are depressed, then scrap value will be added to job work charges. then who should account for sale of scrap? principal or job worker? some articles says principal should raise invoice to regd. job worker.

if job worker is unregistered and if he sold the scrap then should I raise sale invoice for scrap on job worker?
Job work charges will be added to cost of scrap of goods and then any realization will be set off.
Ok. then let's say job charges is 6000, scrap sold is 2000, then total JW charge is 8000 from which realisation can be set off. and I need to pay gst on 8000 towards job work.
