Damage good

If a person deals in cement. He purchases cement in volume. & at each such event about 200-300 bags damaged due to normal wear & tear or damaged bags are being received. He sells such bags at reduced price below cost instead of reversing ITC. What precautions he should take or documents he should maintain to avoid any litigation?

Quick Summary
A cement dealer selling damaged but marketable cement bags at discounted prices need not reverse ITC if GST is paid on the sale value. Maintain evidence proving the goods were saleable, including stock records, invoices, inspection reports and discount sale documentation.

You are not required to reverse ITC if you are selling the goods, even at a reduced price, as long as they are still marketable and you are paying GST on the transaction value. The core of your defense against litigation is proving that these are marketable goods sold at a discount rather than goods destroyed or written off. Always ensure your accounting records classify these as sales rather than stock write-offs to avoid triggering Section 17(5)(h).

Can you guide regarding documents to be maintained to prove it marketable but at reduced price.
