Answer

1. As the units are situated in different states So both units are required to take separate registration under GST as per section 22.

Further as per section 25(4) of CGST Act A person who has obtained or is required to obtain more than one registration, whether in one State or Union territory or more than one State or Union territory shall, in respect of each such registration, be treated as distinct persons for the purposes of this Act.

In view of above section Delhi unit and Punjab unit are distinct persons and Supply of goods between distinct persons is treated as taxable supply even if it is without consideration as per section 7 read with schedule I.

Therefore it is chargeable to GST and taxable value is determined in accordance with Rule 28 i.e. open market value.
Taxable amount = 7,85,000/-
GST= 94,200/-

2. A person who has obtained or is required to obtain more than one registration, whether in one State or Union territory or more than one State or Union territory shall, in respect of each such registration, be treated as distinct persons for the purposes of this Act as per section 25.

Delhi unit and Punjab unit are distinct persons and Supply of goods between distinct persons is treated as taxable supply even if it is without consideration as per section 7 read with schedule I.
