Job Work Register — Goods Sent To and Received From Job Workers (feeding FORM GST ITC-04)

Principal: ___ | GSTIN: ___ | Financial Year: ___

1. Purpose

This register tracks every despatch of inputs and capital goods to job workers under section 143 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Rule 45, against the delivery challans issued under Rule 55, and their return / direct supply from the job worker's premises. It is the source record for FORM GST ITC-04 and the control over the one-year (inputs) and three-year (capital goods) return deadlines — on breach of which the original despatch is deemed a supply effective from the date the goods were sent out, with tax and interest payable accordingly.

Common questions

FAQs.

What is Form ITC-04 and who has to file it?
ITC-04 is the principal's declaration of goods sent to and received back from job workers under section 143 of the CGST Act — Table 4 reports despatches to job workers, Table 5 reports goods received back, sent onward to another job worker, or supplied directly from the job worker's premises. Every principal sending inputs or capital goods for job work on delivery challans must file it; a challan-wise register like this one is the source record.
What is the due date and frequency for filing ITC-04?
The frequency depends on aggregate annual turnover: principals with AATO above ₹5 crore file half-yearly — by 25 October for the April–September half and 25 April for the October–March half — while those with AATO up to ₹5 crore file yearly, by 25 April following the financial year.
What happens if goods are not returned from the job worker in time?
Under section 143, inputs must come back (or be supplied from the job worker's premises) within one year of being sent out and capital goods within three years; the Commissioner can extend these on sufficient cause by up to one further year and two further years respectively. On breach, the original despatch is treated as a deemed supply effective from the date the goods were first sent — so tax becomes payable with interest running from that original date, and the supply is declared in GSTR-1. Moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures, and tools are outside this return condition.
Can a principal supply goods directly from the job worker's premises?
Yes, under section 143(1)(b) the principal may supply the processed goods directly from the job worker's place of business — within the same one-year/three-year windows — but only if the job worker is registered, or the principal has declared the job worker's premises as an additional place of business. The supply is the principal's supply, invoiced by the principal, and is reported in Table 5 of ITC-04 as supplied from the job worker's premises.
