Whether goods sent by a taxable GST person to a job worker be treated as supply and will they be liable to Pay GST?

- Bring back such GST inputs or capital goods after completion of job work or otherwise within the prescribed period i.e. 1 year in case of GST inputs and 3 years in case of capital goods, or
- Supply such ( ITC ) inputs or capital goods, within such prescribed period, on payment of tax within India, or with or without payment of GST for export, as the case may be.
If the goods or, capital goods, as the case may be, are not returned to the principal within the specified above time, the same shall be deemed to have been supplied by the principal to the job worker on the date the goods were sent out to the job worker and the principal shall be required to pay GST accordingly on such supplies.
