What of ours is lying at job workers?
Material at a job worker is still yours. It leaves on a challan — and the one-year clock is watched for you.
The Tuesday it gets opened
Two hundred brackets go to the plater. Still yours — but they left the building, a challan must travel with them, and a one-year clock starts.
The old way, stated fairly
A challan book and trust. It works until somebody asks what is out right now — or until material crosses the one-year line unnoticed and becomes a deemed supply: tax plus interest on goods you still own.
How it earns its place
A job worker is a warehouse
Material at the plater stays in your stock and your valuation — sending changes its value by nothing. The shed appears by itself the first time you send.
The clock is watched
Every challan carries its return-by date; the screen counts "365 days left" or "9 days over", and the overdue view gives thirty days’ notice — enough to telephone somebody.
What comes back is worth more, correctly
Plated brackets cost material plus the plating; the charge lands in payables with its GST; spoilage posts as a loss with the job worker’s name on it. ITC-04 comes out quarter by quarter.
200 bare brackets to the plater at ₹8 a piece. Sending changes your stock value by nothing. They come back in two lots, five spoiled: plated brackets now cost bare-metal plus plating, the five post as a loss under the plater’s name, and ITC-04 already has both challan numbers.
What it refuses, and why
Software that explains its “no” is software an owner can trust.
An invoice for the send
That would declare a sale that never happened and put tax on your own steel. Goods travel under a challan.
Cancelling once anything has left
The stock genuinely sits at the job worker — and once anything is back, the receipt has valued goods and raised a payable. The correction is another document.
