YES YOU CAN AS ITS PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITY OR YOU CAN SHOW THAT IN UNDER HEAD PROMOTIONAL SCHEME (IND EXP)

also ITC proportionate to sample have to be reversed
Yes , ITC attributes to goods given free on promotion has to be reverse as per section 17(5)
Agree with Nikhil and Pankaj ji views.
Itc Has been reversed but do I also show the amount of goods converted into samples as expense which were initially part of purchase amount and the quantity was reduced from closing stock valuation.
u must do the entry only as follows-
Advertisement A/c Dr. with the amount of sample given
To purchases A/c

I Agree with Mr Nikhil. this is the right entry.
