All depends on the Contract made between the parties. I think following abstract from the judgment of Hon'ble Gauhati High Court may help you.
[2007] 008 VST 0314- - HLS Asia Ltd. Vs. State of Assam and others
To constitute a transaction a transfer of the right to use goods, the transaction must have the following attributes: (a) there must be goods available for delivery; (b) there must be a consensus ad idem as to the identity of the goods; (c) the transferee should have a legal right to use the goods; (d) for the period during which the transferee has such legal right, it has to be to the exclusion of the transferor; (e) during the period for which it is to be transferred, the owner cannot again transfer the same right to others. The judicially evolved principles to identify a transaction involving the transfer of right to use goods to be a sale clearly exclude the indispensability of delivery of physical possession thereof as an essential pre-condition.
