The One says:

Any stock/branch transfer is not "inter-state" sales. But the onus of proving this lies with the dealer. This also includes consignment related tranfers.

How does the dealer accomplish this?..... by providing proof in the form of Form F.

Refer to Section 6 of the CST. The basic condition of inter-state sale is that there should be a sale. If you send goods to your branch in another state, it is not a sale as you cannot sell to yourself. Likewise, if a dealer sends goods to his agents in another state who stocks goods on bahalf of the dealer, it is not a sale. This is called a stock transfer or a branch transfer. There is a case, Electric Construction and Equipments C. Ltd. where it was held that if at the time the goods are transferred to the branch and sold through the branch but buyer was known and identified before the goods were despatched from the factory, it would be an inter-state sale, not a stock transfer. As per Section 6A, the onus of proof is on the dealer. This declaration is given in Form F. If form F is not submitted, the transfer will automatically be treated as a sale. Hope this makes the position of law clearer.

Hi I have a Query where One of the Motor Vehicle Company situated in one state has transferred heavy reconstruction machines to its Authorised Dealer in the other state where the goods transferred as a stock transfer to agent and the Authorised dealer has sold the goods by raising invoice in its own name accruing the local tax where the customer was not known to the Principal. And the Motor Vehicle Company(Principal) is demanding the Authorised Dealer for F Form.

Will it constitute an F form sales.

Hello Mr Sreeharsha,

This is not an F form sales as u can do so only by transfering ur goods to ur sales dippoo in the other state , or to ur branch in other state,

so as far as ur query is concerend this transfer will constitute as inter satate sales ,

or for avoiding huge tax liability if ur Authorised dealer is a registered dealer under CST act

then u can sale such goods on C form.

Thanks & Regards

Raman Gora

Thanks Raman but this Authorised Dealer is acting as an agent and has an agreement with the principal for such a stock transfer and also section 6A of CST states this as an F Form Sales since he is an agent.

Correct me if I am wrong.
