Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether GST input tax credit needs to be reversed for tea samples provided free of charge to buyers at auction sales. The consensus leans towards reversal, citing Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, which blocks ITC on goods given as free samples. The conversation also touches upon whether different legal provisions might alter this requirement.

Yes, if it's not treated as sale.
Yes it needs to be reversed since it is a blocked credit.

As per the Provision of Section 17(5) clause (h) of the CGST Act 2017, ITC on Goods lost, stolen, destroyed, written off or disposed of by way of gift or "FREE SAMPLES" is specifically BLOCKED.
If sample is given as per provision of any other law whether then also we have to reverse it????
