1. Seller from Mumbai 2. Buyer from Mumbai 3. Buyer has placed order of materials. 4. Buyer has instructed to dispatch the materials to Consignee who is in Gujarat. 5. Commercial Invoice will be in the name of Customer (Buyer who is in Mumbai) 6. Excise gate pass will be on consignee.
My query is that under which TAX invoice to be prepared, whether it is VAT or CST. There are different view on it, can I get further clarification.

Buyer and seller can be in same State U/S 3 (a) under CST Act, 1956:- Sale can be inter state even if both buyer and seller are in same State if goods are moving out of State on account of sale. You would have to charge CST as applicable.
You have to raise invoice on the Mumbai dealer with CST 2% against C Form only and not VAT.In Invoice You shoul mentioned Buyer Name of Mumbai. but Delivery Addres as consignee as Gujrat Dealer. GR also in Gujrat consignee Name.
