Dear sirs,     Please advise me in the following issue.........

                My client has doing pharmaceutical business in Andhra Pradesh.   He is purchasing products from Haryana and the seller is billing 2% cst tax.  My client has got AP VAT  registration but not CST registration.  They do not know about this CST registration until the seller asking  for Issuance of C Forms for the above purchase.  Really, they do not know it.   They have purchased products are all food products and the rate of tax is 14.5% is paying to the State Government regularly.    For this, what is the remidy for getting C forms or they are liable to pay penalty to the Government for not having CST registration ?     Awaiting for valuable suggestions.

Thanking you

with regards

Anand
