Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding the GST increase on mobile phones from 12% to 18% effective April 1st, 2020. It clarifies that while stock purchased at 12% GST needs to be sold at the new 18% rate, businesses can recover the difference. The input tax credit mechanism ensures that the additional 6% GST is paid using collected customer payments, not from the seller's pocket, thus preventing a direct financial loss on the tax amount itself.

From April-20 You can sale the stock with rate of 18% GST...
If i sale at 18% gst then i have a loss of 6% because i have purchase this stock at 12 % gst
Dear.,

How is loss the Tax amount...?
Yes tax amount loss. if sell price is same then extra 6% pay from pocket.
How is You pay Taxes from Your pocket..?!

Are You can't collect tax from Customers (Consumers)...?
You should remit the Net tax(output tax-Input tax). Hence there is no loss from your pocket.
There will be no loss of Tax Amount. Charge 18% GST on Mobile Phones w.e.f. 01.04.2020. You will be having 12% GST Amount in your E-Credit ledger, and only the balance 6% you have to pay using E-Cash Ledger which you have already collected from your customers. So I don't see any loss Sir.
If phone selling price is not increase then
Are You change Your selling price with less than purchasing price...?

Think about Your purchase with Sales which way You get loss / Shortage...!

Any of the sale price You collect tax from Customers. Then which way You feel fall into loss or pay through Your pocket...

GST is indirect tax and burden of tax is transferred to customers 

and sale after date of change in rate is taxable @ 18%
