XYZ Ltd. (Maharashtra) has purchased moulds from PQR (Chennai). Moulds will be delivered directly to XYZ’s third party manufacturer (ABC) in Chennai. ABC will use the moulds to make the products and sell the products to XYZ. On receipt, XYZ sells these products to its customers). XYZ does not charge ABC any amount for use of the moulds. Ownership of the moulds remains with XYZ. 1) Can XYZ claim ITC of moulds even though the moulds will not be in XYZ’s premises? 2) What is the procedure / documentation to be done by XYZ, PQR and ABC in this transaction?

[YAGAY and SUN]

Yes, XYZ can avail ITC on such Mould, as there is no specific time limit prescribed in GST Laws to get it back from the job worker. Delivery Challan will be issued by XYZ on ABC even moulds received directly by ABC.

Please check the job work procedure and sending the Mould related procedure.
