Classification of stock in trade

Hi 

I have a query relating to the classification of completely knocked down(CKD) inventory. A CKD is one where the company purchases in parts and all what it does is assemble the parts by screws, repacks in its own packing and then sells it to its customers.

Kindly let me know on whether the same shall be classified as stock in trade or as normal raw material inventory as there is separate classification in schedule VI for both.

Thanks..

It should be classified as raw material. only the new material produced by the company by its own effort can be termed as wip.until n unless any additional work is performed on such parts purchased it cannot be termed as wip. any way wait for any other expert ans for confirmation

Hi prerit mathur,

My friend, As you said the company purchases all the parts in bulk and assebles it to form a finished product. I think such bulk parts should be treated as raw material since company is not trading or manufacturing that parts. It only sells assembled one. The processes involved like assebling and repacking also amounts to manufacuture since some activity is involved to get a finished product. Based on my knowledge and experience I have given my opinion friend. If you still wannaa get confidence you can call for experts.
