Guidance on Tax Implications for Warranty Parts Replacement: Input Tax Credit Reversal and Invoicing Over 50,000. A user inquired about the tax implications and procedures for replacing parts under warranty without charging customers, specifically whether the supplier must reverse input tax credit and how to handle invoicing and waybills for amounts exceeding 50,000. One response advised issuing a delivery challan and generating an e-way bill. Another response clarified that if the warranty is part of the transaction value reflected in contracts or agreements, GST is not required; otherwise, GST must be paid or input tax credit reversed. Delivery challans and e-way bills are necessary if the threshold is not exceeded. (AI Summary)
