19 July 2012 A machine was purchased on 01-01-1998 of Rs 3588911 against C form (2% CST) which was used in business for business purpose and depreciation is duly charged on it.
On 25-05-2005 this machine was damaged and a claim amount of rs 2200000 was received from Insurance Co.
Is the company liable to pay CST/VAT on received of Insurance Claim Received.

19 July 2012 but sir the sales tax dept. said that the amount so received will be treated as sales because we purchase it against C form.

Sir if u have any case law or any provisions regarding this please mention it. Thanks.
