21 December 2016 Dear sir, i have a Retail Shop which has an annual turnover of Rs. 18 Lakhs. I make purchases of Goods from Bombay and the goods are transported to cuttack in cartoons after some days. If the Sales Tax authorities seize my goods, how will i prove to them that i fall within the Exemption Limit of Rs. 20 lakhs and hence i have not taken GSTN? How will i release my Goods?

21 December 2016 Sir i don't maintain proper books of accounts. As i mentioned its a small retail shop. In that case is it mandatory for me to take GSTN so that the sales tax authorities do not seize my goods?
