Hi,I want to open a business of cashew selling to the super market chains in Bangalore mainly along with Gujrat and Rajasthan.My permanent address is at Kolkata where I want to open my office as i don't have any permanent address at Bangalore.But i will purchase the cashew from Mangalore which is in Karnataka.So,please guide me in which place I should open my office as vat percentage differs in different state and should I get a TIN in West Bengal?Actually,I am not aware which are the process i have to go through to start this business.Thanks.

It seems that you are not intending to do any business in Kolkatta
You plan to buy cashews in Manglore and sale those in Banglore (both karnataka) and in Gujarath and rajasthan
So it is advisable you register yourself in Karnataka vat (for the purpose you may have to obtain on lease some office place). You will get registration for Karnataka Vat and also for CST in Karnataka state. For sales and purchases in karnataka you have to charge vat and you will be charged vat (set off availible)
For sales outside state of karnataka that is rajasthan and gujarath you will charge CST (no set off availible)
