Urd purchases karnataka

This query is : Resolved 

25 June 2012 can anybody tell me which commodities can be shown as URD purchases in VAT act karnataka

26 June 2012 URD purchase means -commodities purchased from unregistered dealer in karnataka. There is no specific products for URD purchases. All the scheduled commodities can be purchased both from URD and Registered dealer. The only thing is, if you purchase commodity from registered dealer, you can avail ITC (Input tax credit). The dealers with a turnover below 2 lakhs are called URD.

### Key Points on URD Purchases in Karnataka:

1. **What is URD Purchase?**

* URD means **Unregistered Dealer** — a dealer not registered under the Karnataka VAT Act (usually having turnover below ₹2 lakhs).
* URD purchases are goods bought from such unregistered dealers.

2. **Are there specific commodities that can be URD purchases?**

* **No.** There is no fixed list of commodities for URD purchases.
* Any scheduled commodity can be purchased from either a registered dealer or an unregistered dealer.

3. **Why URD Purchase vouchers are often restricted to below ₹15,000?**

* There is **no strict legal limit** on the amount for URD purchase vouchers in Karnataka VAT Act.
* However, practically and from audit perspective, **URD purchase vouchers are often kept below ₹15,000** to avoid scrutiny and easier compliance.
* Larger purchases from URD might attract more scrutiny from tax authorities.

4. **Input Tax Credit (ITC) on URD Purchases:**

* When you buy from an unregistered dealer, you usually **pay VAT under reverse charge** and can **claim ITC** on that VAT.
* For purchases from registered dealers, you get VAT invoices and can directly claim ITC.
