Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST treatment for free samples. If goods are received as a free sample and then transferred without charge, no GST is applicable. While no GST is levied as samples have no intrinsic value for tax purposes, it's important to maintain inventory records. This is similar to promotional offers like '3+1' where GST is charged on the value of goods supplied, not the free items.

If a product is purchased as for example (3+1) and sold same as (3+1) then no GST is need to be charged. the value as supplier mentioned in invoice shall be charged by the seller.

hence value should be taken zero.
As sample poses no value , neither on purchase nor on sale , there will be no treatment in GST.

Yes as per Inventory maintenance need to be recorded in stock ledger
Since you received sample free of cost and supplying the same free of cost as sample, no gst is required.
