GST in India has provided a special procedure for removal of products from the principal manufacturer to job worker and return work from job worker to principal manufacturer subject to some terms, conditions, and limitations. Presently, excise duty is levied on the activity of ‘manufacture of goods’, whereas the VAT or central sales tax is levied on the sale of goods. The GST bill proposes to combine these various taxation aspects contained into one broader ambit ‘all inclusive concept’ called as ‘supply’. The law has kept the special transaction of Job Work into consideration while drafting and thus it provides for special procedure for removal and receipt of goods sent on job work.
