11 September 2019 Please elaborate your query

06 July 2024 In the context of the Central Sales Tax (CST) Act in India, including its applicability to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), here are the relevant points regarding the requirement for a C Form:

1. **C Form Purpose:**
- The C Form is used for interstate transactions under the CST Act. It allows the buyer to purchase goods at a concessional rate of CST (typically 2%) instead of the higher standard rate applicable in the selling state.

2. **Applicability in J&K:**
- Historically, Jammu & Kashmir was exempt from CST under the CST Act, meaning that CST was not applicable on interstate transactions involving J&K.
- However, with the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, CST has been subsumed, and GST applies uniformly across all states and Union Territories, including J&K.

3. **GST Era and J&K:**
- Under GST, the requirement for C Forms as per the CST Act is no longer applicable since CST has been replaced by GST.
- Any transactions involving J&K are now governed by GST laws and regulations, including the requirement for GST compliance.

4. **Nil Sales Tax Scenario:**
- Even if the sales tax rate is nil in J&K for local transactions, GST compliance requirements would still apply for interstate transactions, depending on the nature of the goods and services involved.

### Conclusion:

In summary, under the current GST regime, the requirement for C Forms under the CST Act does not apply. If you are dealing with transactions involving Jammu & Kashmir, you should comply with GST regulations and ensure proper documentation and compliance as per GST laws. For specific details or situations, it's advisable to consult with a tax professional or legal advisor who can provide guidance based on the latest regulations and requirements applicable to your business transactions.
