Hello Vikas,
Since **agricultural fencing poles** are **not classified as exempt agricultural implements**, they are **liable to VAT** as regular goods under the respective State VAT Act.
### ✅ VAT Applicability in Rajasthan (as per 2012 context):
In **Rajasthan**, fencing poles **do not fall under the exempted or lower-rate agricultural goods list**. Therefore:
* They are **treated as general goods**, unless specified otherwise in the schedule.
* The typical **VAT rate on general goods in Rajasthan** (during 2012) was:
* **5%** for declared goods or lower-rate goods (if notified),
* **14%** (standard rate) for goods not covered under a specific lower-rate schedule.
👉 **Most likely applicable VAT rate:** **14%**
---
### 🔎 Recommendation:
* Check the **Rajasthan VAT Schedule (Schedule II or III)** from 2012 to verify if fencing poles were listed at a concessional rate.
* If not listed, **standard VAT @ 14%** applies.
---
### 🧾 Additional Note:
If you’re supplying to a government department, farmer cooperative, or using C-forms (for interstate sales), other implications may apply like **CST @ 2%**.
Let me know if you want help checking the specific notification or VAT entry number for Rajasthan circa 2012.
