Agent-supplied goods treated as deemed supply - invoice issuance and title transfer determine GST liability.
Schedule I deems certain transfers of goods between principal and agent as deemed supply without consideration where the agent supplies or receives goods on behalf of the principal.

Only goods (not services) fall within this entry. Agents who invoice in their own name or take possession and transfer title fall within Schedule I and may face registration obligations; agricultural commission agents may be exempt where underlying supplies are exempt.

Principal-agent relationship: invoice issuance by agent determines deemed supply and registration consequences under GST.
The Schedule I deemed-supply applies where an agent supplies or receives goods in a representative capacity without consideration; the key objective test is whether the agent issues the invoice for onward supply in his own name, indicating authority to transfer or receive title on behalf of the principal.

Commission agents handling agricultural produce are exempt from registration when principals are not taxable, but compulsory registration arises where the principal is taxable, the supplies are taxable, or tax is payable under reverse charge.
