This is regarding Road Permit required for inbound goods to a state. I am from Kolkata and have ordered a laptop from Dell India, Bangalore. My payment has been processed but now they (Dell) say that I need to produce a Road Permit to ship the consignment to my address.
I am a salaried professional and do not have a CST/VAT registration. Arranging such a document is therefore beyond my scope of duties. But Dell India is simply uncooperative and is simply insisting on a permit.
The question therefore is: how do I recieve a shipment from other state to West Bengal if the shipmen tis for private/uncommercial usage. do i really need a road Permit for that?

Thanks for the reply Ram Avtar ji..but if the Blue Dart regulations (http://bluedart.com/regulatory.html#n28) are anything to go by; WB laws do not differentiate between commercial and personal shipments - everything inbound requires Form 50 to be submitted by the consignee.
