### **3. Understanding C Form**

**C Form** is a certificate used in inter-state sales under the VAT system in India.

**Meaning and Issuance:**

- **Purpose:**
- The C Form is used by businesses to claim concessional tax rates on inter-state sales of goods. It is issued to the seller by the purchaser, indicating that the goods are being purchased for resale or for use in manufacturing and that the purchaser is eligible for concessional VAT rates.

- **Who Can Issue:**
- **Purchaser:** The C Form is issued by the purchaser to the seller. It should be filled out and signed by the purchaser and given to the seller as proof that the purchase is for resale or for manufacturing purposes, thus qualifying for concessional VAT rates.

- **Format and Submission:**
- The C Form must be in the prescribed format as per the VAT Act and should be submitted to the seller within the stipulated time frame.

- **Usage:**
- The seller uses the C Form to apply for the concessional rate of tax on the inter-state sale, which helps reduce the overall tax burden.

### **Summary**

- **Generating MVAT Challan:** Generate online via the MVAT portal, pay the tax, and save the challan.
- **Filing MVAT Return:** Complete the return form online, submit it, and keep the acknowledgment.
- **C Form:** Issued by the purchaser to the seller for concessional tax rates on inter-state sales.
