Mr. U. S. Sharma has given you the academic reply and this will not serve your purpose.
For North Easter Region if the Unit is NEW No VAT No Excise etc for 7 years is applicable. In this case you cannot charge VAT from customers.
Now, if your unit is old then the matter will be different. Kindly go to the Kar Bhawan opposite to Tea auction Center at Dispur and get all the information from he concerned officer.
