Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the tax treatment for both suppliers and recipients when goods are lost during transit. It clarifies that the recipient generally cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for lost goods. The supplier may issue a credit note, which will be reflected in GSTR1 and GSTR2B, depending on the sales agreement and transfer of ownership terms.

Goods lost in transit to be recovered by good units.

ITC cannot be claimed by the recipient. 

Supplier can issue credit note since supply was not complete but it depends on the terms of the agreement between seller and buyer

What about GSTR1 & GSTR2B?

Supplier will file credit note of issued in GSTR-1.

Your GSTR2-B will reflect such credit note.

Goods were sold on ex-Plant basis with transfer of ownership at factory gate at the time invoicing.

Then supplier is not needed to issue credit note since sale already completed.

However recipient will not be able take ITC since goods lost before further supply or usage in manufacture.

Many Many thanks !Sir
