Tn vat doubts

Dear Experts,

I am quite new to Tamilnadu VAT filing. Having following doubts. Please clarify..

1. If some VAT/CST invoices are cancelled (due to product returned by customer), we can ignore such invoices during VAT filing or is there any procedure to show such invoices also in Form I and Form 1..

2.In VAT filing, In Annexure II (Details of sales), there are many categories like First Schedule (F), Stock trnafer to Branches, etc.. Please let me know what category I should select for (i) Sales within Tamilnadu, (ii) Sales outside Tamilnadu.

3. I read the following in recent TN budget speech - 
"   Clause  (c)  under  Section  19(5)  of  TNVAT  Act, 
2006  will  henceforth  be  withdrawn  to  enable 
the  dealers  to  claim  Input  Tax  Credit  on  the 
inter-State  sale  of  goods  without  ‘C’  form. 
This  measure  will  eliminate  additional  burden 
on  the  dealers  effecting  inter-State  sale  of 
goods without ‘C’ form."

Please clarify what it means.. Does it means that hereafter TN VAT dealers need not submit C forms for 2% sales..?

4.We are Traders of Solar power products. We purchase many solar products like Solar panels, Inverters, Charge controllers,etc and integrate them and install in customer's place. I learnt some solar businesses bill the customer just as one single final product as "Solar power plant 1kw - ..., Tax 5% ...", whereas in Input, it is a combination of many products. Since we are a trader , in our bill, we need to mention each and every product individually Or can we bill all of them together as above (mentioning the power plant capacity as a single product).

5.VAT for batteries is 14.5% and for all other renewable energy products (code 2117) it is 5%. I learnt some businesses, buy batteries @ 14.5% whereas while selling to the customer they bill as "Solar power plant .. , VAT 5%". That is for the total value they mention it as a single product and bill it for 5%. Is this valid?

6.Are Traders not entitled to change a product and sell? That is, for solar panel mounting we need steel structures. We need to buy mild steel angles and fabricate the structure. Input as "steel" and output as some other product (i.e., like solar module mounting structure), is this correct or wrong? 

7.Also if we want to deal with Steel, do we need to have any special mention for the same in TNVAT RC?

Thank you in advance.
