Job Work procedure under CGST Act 2017 with reference to E Way bill Rules 2018.
Meaning of Job Work –
When the owner of the goods (Principle) sends his goods to a different person for carrying out certain process, which may or may not result in the change of the specifications of the product, that activity is termed as Job Work Activity. In this activity or procedure, job worker processes the material received from the Principle and sends back the material within the stipulated time.
When in Previous tax regime, there was also the procedure of job work, wherein material used to be sent on 57F4 Challan, prepared in Part A & Part B. These had to be closed within the stipulated time, failing which, there were legal consequences.
Under GST regime also, the said procedure of Job work has been continued, but with minor alterations in it. Job work procedure under CGST Act 2017 is governed by Section 143 & under CGST Rules 2017, it is governed by Rule 45.
Sec 143 of the CGST Act 2017 is produced below:
A registered person (herein after referred to as the “Principle”)may under intimation and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed, send material or capital goods, without payment of tax, to a job worker for job work and from there subsequently to another job worker and likewise, & shall –
A) bring back inputs, after completion of job work or otherwise, or capital goods, other than moulds, tools, dies, jigs & fixtures, or both, within one year and three years respectively, of their being sent out to any of his place of business, without payment of tax.
B) supply such inputs, after completion of job work or otherwise, or capital goods, other than moulds, dies, jigs & fixtures or both, within one year & three years, respectively, of their being sent out from the place of business of job worker on payment of tax within India, or with or without payment of tax for export, as the case may be.
The definition of ‘Job-work’ under GST is covered under section 2(68) of the CGST Act 2017 states “Any treatment or process undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered person”. Therefore, job-worker is the person (registered or unregistered) who is processing or treating the goods of another registered person and the owner of the goods is called the Principal in this respect.
Section 19 of the CGST Act 2017 explains the definition of the Principal as ‘a person supplying goods to the job-worker.’

Such supply will also be declared in the GSTR 1 of the principle and he shall be liable to pay the tax along with Interest.
While we are discussing about the job work procedure under the CGST Act 2017, we should also be aware about the meaning of the term “Capital Goods” to be considered for this Act.
The term “Capital Goods” shall include “Plant & machinery as defined in the Explanation to Section 17 shall mean apparatus, equipment & machinery fixed to earth by foundation or structural support that are used for making outward supply of goods or services or both and includes such foundation and structural support but excludes –
I] land, building or any other civil structures
II] telecommunication towers &
III] pipelines laid outside factory premises
Supply of goods from Job workers premises –
Principle cannot supply the inputs or capital goods directly from the place of business of a job worker unless the Principle declares the place of business of a job worker as his additional place of business, except in case –
1. If the job worker is registered under Section 25 of CGST Act 2017 or
2. Where the principle is engaged in supply of such goods as may be notified by the Commissioner.
3. The responsibility of keeping proper accounts of all inputs or Capital goods sent to job worker, shall lie with the Principal.
4. Any scrap arising from the process of job work, may be supplied directly by the job worker directly from his place of business o payment of tax, if such job worker is registered or by the principle, if such job worker is not registered.
Input Tax credit on goods supplied to job worker
Section 19 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that the principal (a person supplying taxable goods to the job-worker) shall be entitled to take the credit of input tax paid on inputs sent to the job-worker for the job-work. Further, the proviso also provides that the principal can take the credit even when the goods have been directly supplied to the job-worker without being brought into the premise of the principal. The principal need not wait till the inputs are first brought to his place of business.
E Waybill Rules for Inputs or Capital Goods to be sent for Job work –
As like every other supply, either of goods or services, is included in the E Waybill Rules 2018, so is the job work procedure being included in E Waybill Rules. E Waybill Rules are governed under CGST Rules 2018 vide Rule 138. This Rule was amended by the government on 01st April 2018. Rule 138 of CGST Rules 2017 says –
“Every registered person who causes movement of goods of consignment value exceeding Fifty Thousand Rupees –
A] in relation to a supply; or
B] for reasons other than supply; or
C] due to inward supply from an unregistered person,
Shall, before commencement of such movement, furnish information relating to the said goods as specified in FORM A of GSTEWB-01, electronically, on the common portal along with such other information as maybe prescribed….”
Thus, it is clear from the above Sub Rule (1B) of Rule 138 that the inputs or capital goods sent for job work should be accompanied by their respective E Waybills.
Also, the 3rd Proviso to Rule 138 states very clearly that where goods are sent by principle located in one state or union territory to a job worker located in another state or union territory, the e way bill shall be generated either by principle or by job worker, if registered, irrespective of the value of the consignment.
It is very clear that the condition of the value of consignment is not applicable to the inputs or capital goods sent for job work, while preparing the E Waybill. Even if the 3rd Proviso only talks about the inputs or capital goods being sent for job work, by principle located in one state to a job worker located in another state, the E Way Bill Rules are applicable to all the inputs or capital goods being sent for job work, even if principle and job worker are located in same state or union territory.

Conclusion –
Thus, one may think the job work procedure to be an easy one, but it has legal implications, which, if not followed properly or with the wrong data, may lead to serious consequences. Job work procedure under GST is also as important as the other procedures under GST. Even while doing the job work transactions, one thing which everyone should keep in mind is that such transactions also affect the Input Tax Credit of the principal if the goods are not received within the stipulated time. According to Section 19(2) of CGST Act, the principal can avail the ITC where goods are sent to job worker premises directly from the vendor location without coming to the principal’s premises. Principal can avail ITC on such goods sent to job worker, provided the vendor mentions -customer as the principal and consignee as the job worker on the face of the invoice. In case of goods imported and directly sent to the job worker from the custom station, the principal requires to raise a delivery challan under Rule 55.Since the ownership of the goods and the responsibility of maintaining the data of Job work lies with the Principal, if such inputs or capital goods are not received within the time frame of 1 Year or 3 Years respectively, the principal has to generate the tax invoice, pay the tax with interest & show the details of invoice in his GSTR 1.
It is to update that the GST Council has not given any specific “Format” for challan. What the GST Council has given is the contents of the challan which should be incorporated by the principal in his challan format.

Hi sir,
We receive raw materials for Job work with Delivery Challan(DC) and Eway bill. we make semifinished goods and send it back to our client for packaging.
At the time of return:
1) Do we have to raise a Delivery note of our own?
2) On the Eway portal when we opt for the Jobwork option the Invoice no section changes automatically to delivery challan no. Do we fill in the DC no of the goods received by us here? Or do we just enter our invoice no instead.
3) In case our Jobwork charges exceeds Rs. 50000, Do we have to fill a separate eWay bill for the same.
4) Do we have to send back the Original Eway bill sent by our client at the time of Delivery.
5) In the Eway bill do we put value of goods only or do we put the value of our jobwork charges or do we have to put both.
6) Do we have to send any other Document at the time of delivery?
Regards,
Sharan

Sir,
Our company sends Goods for Job work and we make EWB for that Job work as well, but we never file ITC-04.
What are the consequences ? Have you came through any notice from GSTN in regard to that ?
Sir,

I seek your clarification, sending the raw material for job work is not a sale. Hence, I feel, % and amount of GST need not have to mention in Delivery challan while sending the goods for job work purpose. Your clarification is requested pl
