We are a SEZ unit in Maharashtra,we are selling goods to unit in Tamil Nadu,The customer is paying custom duty ,CVD & SAD on the product.Is it required to charge CST in place of SAD,if Yes what should be the base to calculate CST.

All sales to Domestic Area from SEZ is considered as Imports for Domestic Customer , as SEZ are deemed foreign teritory for the purpose of duties and taxes. So , sale to deomestic are from SEZ attracts Import Duties only ( BCD + CVD + SAD ) It dose'nt attract VAT or CST.
However you can talk to appraising authorities of your SEZ and can ask them to exempt SAD also.

This notification is creating confussion between payment of SAD or charging CST. Can you please clarify
