OMS Means out of maharashtra state.
You can simply purchase from him. as he is small unregistered dealer he will not charge you any TAX. he will charge you product cost and freight if he is giving delivery.
you will consider it as URD purchase means purchase form unregistered dealer.
You can not take ant setoff as VAT/CST not charged

Here's a detailed explanation about interstate sale of goods from unregistered dealers (like small shopkeepers without VAT/CST):
---
### Can a small shopkeeper without VAT/CST sell goods interstate?
* **Legally, for interstate sales, CST (Central Sales Tax) applies**, and the seller must be registered for CST or GST (now GST replaced VAT/CST post-2017).
* **If the seller is unregistered (no VAT/CST), they are not authorized to collect CST** on interstate sales.
* So **technically, an unregistered dealer cannot legally sell goods interstate** because CST/GST registration is mandatory for interstate supplies exceeding threshold limits.
---
### What happens if a small unregistered dealer sells goods interstate?
* The buyer can **purchase goods but without CST charged**, so the invoice will be without tax.
* The buyer must treat such purchases as **from an unregistered dealer (URD)**.
* The buyer **cannot claim input tax credit (ITC)** on such purchases.
* The buyer must comply with **local state laws for entry tax or purchase tax**, if applicable.
---
### Practical scenario in your example:
* You (buyer in State A) want to purchase from a small shopkeeper in State B who has **no VAT/CST registration**.
* The shopkeeper sells the goods without CST.
* You get an invoice without CST.
* You receive goods in your state but **cannot claim CST credit**.
* This purchase is treated as a **non-taxable purchase from an unregistered dealer**.
* For your accounting and tax filings, treat this as a purchase without tax credit.
---
### Important notes:
* The **seller may be liable for penalty or notice** from tax authorities for making interstate sales without registration.
* The buyer should ensure proper documentation and disclose such purchases correctly in tax returns.
* Post GST (after July 2017), **all interstate supplies require GST registration and tax payment** if turnover exceeds threshold.
---
### Summary Table:
| Seller Status | Interstate Sale Allowed? | Tax Charged | Buyer Can Claim ITC? | Notes |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Registered dealer (CST/GST) | Yes | CST/GST | Yes | Normal interstate purchase |
| Unregistered small dealer | No (not legal) | No CST | No | Buyer treats as purchase from URD |
