Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to treat normal transport losses for food items, specifically almonds, under GST. If goods are damaged during transit, you cannot claim full Input Tax Credit (ITC). Instead, ITC must be reversed proportionally to the value of the damaged goods, as per Section 17(5)(h) of the GST law.

When you had purchased almonds you would had got a gst invoice, now you would not claim all igst as itc. You can claim itc only on the proportionate basis of almonds out of total which are not damaged.
As per Section 17(5)(h) , need to reverse the ITC in proportionate to value of goods destroyed.
There is no such relaxation in respect of Input Tax Credit on goods normal loss in GST Law at present, so you have to reverse the proportionate ITC.
