F form required for stock transfer- F form is required to be produced as proof of stock transfer. As per section 6A(1) submission of F form is mandatory to prove stock transfer. Otherwise, the transaction will be treated as sale for all purposes of CST Act.
F Form is issued by the branch office/consignment agent receiving goods as branch/stock transfer to its head office/principal who is sending the goods by way of stock/ branch transfer. The H.O./Principal produces such F forms to its assessing authority to prove such stock/branch transfer.

yes, agreed with Expert. In many cases, Companies keep their Depot / Branches in other states. Then, they transfer stocks from main production house to these Depots & maintain Stocks there. In these kind of cases, Depots have to issue Form F to Main Production Center.
