Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting entries for selling scrap under GST. It confirms that the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is generally not applicable to scrap sales. The standard entry involves debiting Sundry Debtors (or Cash for cash sales) and crediting the Sale (Scrap) account, along with applicable CGST and SGST (or IGST for inter-state sales).

RCM ????? but RCM is not applicable on scraps sales.
