FAQ on GST:

Query:What is the implication of GST in respect of duty paid goods removed before the appointed date and returned after the appointed date?

Answer:If any duty paid goods are sold/removed not being earlier than six months of appointed date under the earlier law are returned within six months of the appointed date, the seller is eligible for refund of duty paid if the sales is made to unregistered buyer, if the sale is to a registered buyer then he will have to charge GST as a supply.

In case goods are returned after six months from the appointed date, tax is payable by the person receiving the goods as purchase from unregistered supplier and a registered person will have to charge GST as supply as normal.
