For the purpose of calculating GST the valuation provisions would be relevant and when GST has to be paid , the time of supply provisions will be relevant. accounting standards will not be of relevance.

Dear Querist,

There are two case laws (pertaining to pre-GST era) which talk of how AS-7 can be useful in various ways regarding correct and proper payment of GST. These are worth reading.

2. FIRM FOUNDATIONS & HOUSING PVT. LTD. Versus PR. COMMR. OF S.T., CHENNAI - 2018 (4) TMI 613 - MADRAS HIGH COURT
