Guidance on Dispatching Machinery with Missing Parts: Use Delivery Challan, E-Way Bill, or Lot Delivery for GST Compliance. A query was raised regarding the procedure for dispatching machinery with missing parts under GST regulations. Three responses were provided. One suggested using a delivery challan for the parts dispatched later. Another advised that if the value of the missing parts exceeds a threshold, an E-way bill is necessary; otherwise, a delivery challan suffices. The third response recommended treating the delivery as being in lots and advised claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) only after receiving the spare parts. (AI Summary)
