Double taxation to a unregistered dealer

Dear Members,

My client is registered dealer in Kolkata. Has a branch office in ranchi which is not registered. The branch office in ranchi makes local purchase from reg dealer and pays the vat amount in bill. Hereafter the ranchi branch wants to transfer the goods to its Kolkata head office. Department says that it can be done through loose permits and ranchi office will have to pay tax on such goods before transfer. 

As ranchi office is being levied double tax burden. Is there any other way or any provision to avoid this double taxation ??

Have a great day !!!
