Facts
Goods sent for exhibition are not a sale when sent, so you move them on a delivery challan with an e-way bill. If you will sell at the exhibition in another State, you may need a casual taxable person registration there.
Provisions and law
- Rule 55, CGST Rules 2017Delivery challan is used for movement of goods without a sale, such as job work or goods on approval
- Rule 138, CGST Rules 2017E-way bill in EWB-01 is required for movement of goods of consignment value above Rs 50,000, with Part A and Part B
- Sec 24(i), CGST Act 2017Casual taxable persons making taxable supplies must register regardless of turnover
Analysis
Example: a Jaipur handicraft seller takes goods worth Rs 3 lakh to a Delhi fair. He issues a delivery challan and an e-way bill with reason 'Exhibition or fairs'. If he plans to sell there, he takes a casual registration in Delhi, pays advance tax, and issues invoices. Unsold goods come back on another challan with an e-way bill.
Conclusion
- Prepare a delivery challan for exhibition goods
- Generate an e-way bill with reason exhibition
- Apply for casual registration if selling in that State
- Bring back unsold goods with fresh documents
