ITC reversal when switching from regular to Composition scheme

ITC / Input 395 views 2 replies
My neighbour owns a general stores(provision stores kirana stores) shop and doesn't maintain any sales record .He only maintains purchase bills.

So what he does is he adds10/8% margin on purchase value and compute rate wise sales and accordingly pay GST


As if purchases made during a month are sold during that month itself
i.e. GST calculations are made under an assumption(due to lack of records) of zero inventory at the end of the day.




My question is
NOW he wants to opt for composition scheme and as per the act he has to reverse ITC taken on inputs held in stock on the day prior to switching to composition scheme.


But per our GST calculations all sales are made out of current stock i.e. one which is acquired on or after 1st April 2020. So he should not be liable for ITC reversal

Please help

If  he  registered  under  GST  as regular  Tax payer  then  ,Its  mandatory   maintain  Books  like Out ward  supply (sales) ,Inward supply (purchase ) ,stock    etc   as  per  section 35 of the CGST  act  2017.and  pay tax . Before  shifting composition   you check out   tax  paid  correctly  or not  , reversal  etc . 

I know it's mandatory but small stores are not able to do it and also they have to compete with likes of Malls(D-Mart, Reliance Smart).
So that person(owner of store ) worked out this way
