Am running a business with a proprietorship license for the last 1 year 2 months. In the CST certificate (ie., in the FORM B - Certficate of Registration) the classes of goods was mentioned as "Textiles, Home decors" - RESALE.
I also have IEC number for this.
Now i wanna deal only with food items (especially snacks). So my questions are:- *Whether i ve to change the categories in the CST certificate (ie.,Form B - Certficate of Registration).. or it is not a problem? *And whether i ve to change my IEC number ? *Whether i ve to change my business name? (by current business name is XYZ Enterprise).. ie., whether i have to include the name FOODS in my business name? ie., whether i ve to change it like XYZ FOODS or something? *Now am going to distribute the snacks in India & also wanna export it to various countries.. so pls guide me what else i have to do...
Pls sir(s).. help this newbie. Thanks in advance..

Without change in name you can do the business of food supply but you have to get the certificate of CST amended and at the same time you have to register yourself under the VAT and Service Tax and also the IEC code number requires amendment by only intimation but IEC code is only for exports which might not be no longer required.
