Input Tax Credit on job-work goods allowed when moulds are sent directly to a job worker, subject to job-work documentation.
The principal may avail Input Tax Credit on moulds sent directly to a job worker because there is no prescribed time limit for return from the job worker; the transfer should be treated under job-work provisions. The principal must issue a delivery challan for the moulds even when received directly by the job worker and must follow job-work procedures and retain records and documentary support as prescribed in relevant GST circulars to substantiate the ITC claim.
