You mention your state. Generally,all kinds of paper are chargeable @5% or 5.5% VAT.You have to find out the rates existing in your state.Secondly,a H form can not be issued for purchase of raw material or components used for manufacturing an exported product.H forms are to be given for purchases of goods which are directly exported.You have to pay taxes on these purchases as per rules.In many states some concessions are offered under VAT Acts for 100% EOUs for exemption of tax on purchases.
