FAQs for Sub Chapter 4911
Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Printed matter?
If your outward supply of Printed matter is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.
What should my invoice and records include for Printed matter?
Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.
What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Printed matter?
Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.
How are warranty replacements of Printed matter handled?
If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.
Any special steps when selling Printed matter through an e‑commerce platform?
Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.
Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Printed matter?
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Printed matter are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
