10 March 2010 All sales to Domestic Area from SEZ is considered as Imports for Domestic Customer , as SEZ are deemed foreign teritory for the purpose of duties and taxes. So , sale to deomestic are from SEZ attracts Import Duties only ( BCD + CVD + SAD ) It dose'nt attract VAT or CST.

However you can talk to appraising authorities of your SEZ and can ask them to exempt SAD also.

11 March 2010 Notification No.45/2005-Customs states that goods produced or manufactured in SEZ and sold to DTA would be excempted from the whole of SAD leviable under sub section (5) of section 3 of the Customs tariff Act,1975.Provided no such excemption shall be applicable if such goods,when sold in DTA,are excempted by the Goverment from payment of sales tax or value added tax.
This notification is creating confussion between payment of SAD or charging CST.
Can you please clarify
