A manufacturing partnership firm based in Mumbai sends raw materials for processing to branch outside state.

After processing goods are returned back to Mumbai and then sold in mumbai / exported.

do we require form F from the branch, as i believe form F is only applicable when goods are sent outside state for sale.

can the STO partially set off the VAT paid on purchases for goods sent to branch outside Maharashtra.

I would be grateful if i can get the relevant sections in the MVAT Act, 2002 for my queries.

Thanking you in advance
