Dear Sir, A is local dealer who has sold goods to B an exporter in pursuance to purchase order which mentions purchase to be in course of export and against issue of form H. B has issued H form to A with proof of export in form of Bill of lading.
Q. Is it mandatory for B the exporter to issue alongwith H form a copy of purchase order received by him from his overseas customer C. This would breach business secrecy and A would then directly export to C. Normaly exporters try to conceal the particulars of overseas customer to their suppliers.
The officer for A is demanding the purchase order received by A from B and also the P.O. received by B from C is it a valid demand.

H form does not need purchase order but bill of lading is needed,
if officer demands the order copy then its duty of B to furnish the same, for satisfaction of officer of A, otherwise the form H may get rejected and B would be liable for full rate of tax with interest.
