Dear Sir, The same requirements as to other goods dealer like registration, filing of return, deduction of vat tds,assessment, audit etc.. Different penalities are prescribed for different offences under the respective vat Act.Pl. check the respective state Vat Act.
In second part of the query was, what is the liablity of 'officer appointed in this behalf by the company' to the 'company' was asked and not the company to Deptt. Hence reslove further please

Dear Sir, Normally there is no specific requirement for oil & gas Industry in Vat Acts particularly in DVAT-04.
For Your second query,it depends upon the company policy in general and agreement with the officer appointed in particular. In my opinion, if the loss causeddue to misconduct and/or negligence on the part of officer, then conduct enquiry by an independent boardand if he found guilty,the loss can be recovered out of his compensation or civil suit can be filed by the companyto recover the loss.
