### Central Sales under VAT - Form Submission Time Limit
1. **Forms like C-Form, F-Form, H-Form, etc.** are statutory forms used under the Central Sales Tax (CST) Act for inter-state sales.
2. **Time Limit for Submission:**
* Typically, the time limit to submit these forms to the respective sales tax authority is **by the due date of filing the return for the month or quarter in which the sale was made.**
* Usually, this means submission is required **within 6 months from the end of the month in which the sale was effected.**
* Some states may specify their own timelines, but the general practice is submission within **6 months from the month of sale** to claim exemption or concessional rates under CST.
3. **Penalty for Late Submission:**
* If these forms are submitted late, dealers may lose the concessional rate of CST and will be liable to pay tax at the applicable rate with interest and penalty.
4. **Recommendation:**
* It is best to check the specific **State VAT Act rules** and notifications as some states provide a final deadline for submission of all forms related to a financial year.
* Keep track of the sale invoices and corresponding statutory forms for timely submission.
---
**In summary:** Generally, statutory forms like C-form for CST sales should be submitted within 6 months from the end of the month in which the sale occurred, but this may vary by state. Please verify the specific state VAT rules to be sure.
