Gentlemen/Sir/ Madam,

i. As per the notification referred at Sr. No. 1) above, any type of return of any dealer for any period under the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002(“the M.V.A.T. Act”), if filed after 01.03.09 shall mandatorily be e-return. The dealers registered under the M.V.A.T. Act, are required to file the electronic returns in form 231, 232, 233, 234 or as the case may be form 235 with respect to their turnover of sales and purchases. Apart from this, if they are deducting tax at source, they are also then required to file return in form 405, disclosing therein the details related to tax deducted at source by them. Although the returns in form 231, 232, 233, 234, 235 are required to be compulsorily filed electronically, the returns in form 405 are to be filed only as per old procedure i.e. physical returns. For the dealers/persons who are not registered under M.V.A.T. Act, but are employers and deduct tax at source and are required to file the physical returns in form 405, a separate Trade Circular specifying the process is already issued under No. 42T of 2008, dtd.26.12.08.
