Quick Summary
If Amazon has lost goods you sent to their warehouse, you'll need to reverse the Input Tax Credit (ITC) you initially claimed. According to GST rules, ITC for lost goods is blocked. You should book the loss in your accounts and reverse the ITC claimed in your GSTR-3B. It's also advisable to reduce the lost stock from your stock journal.
