Treatment of GST on cash and trade discount

Many of our clients who deal in Cement, fertilizers and Pesticides receive cash and trade discounts from the supplier company in the form of Credit Notes charging GST.

My query is whether we should deduct the discount amount from the purchase and should show net ITC in GSTR-3B or add discount amount in outward supplies and should show in table no. 3 of GSTR-3B as we are showing in the credit side of the Profit and Loss A/c as other income in audited financial statements.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how businesses, particularly those in cement, fertilisers, and pesticides, should handle GST on cash and trade discounts received from suppliers. The core question is whether to deduct the discount from purchases, thereby reducing input tax credit (ITC) reported in GSTR-3B, or to treat it as other income. The consensus leans towards deducting the discount from purchases and showing the net ITC in GSTR-3B, reflecting the nature of the discount as relating to the purchase transaction.

Reverse the corresponding ITC in column 4(B)(2), ITC Reversed-Others, of GSTR-3B.

Discount is received from Suppliers, i.e it's relating to the Purchase by taxpayer, So, we should have to deduct the discount amount from the purchase and show net ITC in GSTR-3B.
