We have filed for VAT registration for with the VAT office in Mazgaon, Mumbai, as the company will be trading in computer hardware and electronic parts; all the formalities have been completed along with the visit to the VAT office and signatures of the proprietor, however the VAT no is not issued and have been told that there will be a pre-visit from the officer before allotment of the number.
1. How long does is it usually take for the pre-visit?

Mr Sachin, Yes,the registering authority may like to verify the particulars filled in the applicant. But there should not be undue delay. Generally, after a month you can treat it as registration is complete as per rules.You may approach the same office again and get the number(TIN)and the RC. MJK

AT first have a check with the Assessing officer at the Registration Authority...Whether any issue of reregistration or Open case liability ?
Ususally, once the documents are filed & accepted by the Regn Authority, then theydo not postpon the issue of VAT. There & that on the same day, then allot u the VAT TIN so as to pay the tax hence forth..
My other query is for a dealer with voluntary registration whre he does not have a taxable turnover, is he required to file VAT return even if no turnover?, if yes what is the periodicity / frequency of filing as per VAT?

I know that by logging in we can get the periodicity,but in the first year of registration is he liable to file return with no taxable turnover? and how frequently in he first year?

Every registered dealer is under obligation to file return as per periodicity even if the turnover is NIL. In Maharashtra a regd.dealer has to file quarterly return during 1st year in which registration is obtained.{Rule 17(4)(d)}
