12 March 2011 E-1 sales.
In this 3 states/ parties are involved during the transportation of goods. And as per the state tax laws, upon entering each state, a central tax of 4% for each is state is payable. However if the goods are redirected or endorsed to a different party then to avoid multiple taxation, this sale in transit is applied. (An example to explain this)

A trader Mr Gupta at Punjab want to buy some machinery, he contacted that machinery expert Mr Mehmood of Delhi, now Mr Mehmood cant find that machine in Delhi, but he has a freind Mr Satpaal of Kolkata who manufactures that machine.
So in this case Mr Mehmood of Delhi will ask Mr Satpaal of Kolkata to sell it to him, but deliver it to Mr Gupta at Punjab. And Mr Mehmood will receive an invoice from Mr Satpaal (with his name as buyer and Mr Gupta's name as consignee). The goods will go directly to Mr Gupta at Punjab, however he will be billed by Mr Mehmood (with Mr Mehmoods profit of course). BUT MR MEHMOOD WILL NOT ADD ANY SALES TAX ON HIS BILL TO MR GUPTA. and this is the interesting part, that since goods have been taxed at 4% at source from Mr Satpaal of Kolkata they will not be further charged any tax. This will save tax to Mr Gupta of Punjab from being taxed at Delhi

Now comes the forms part. In this example Mr Gupta of Punjab will issue a C Form to Mr Mehmood of Delhi, and Mr Mehmood to Mr Satpaal, AND MR SATPAAL WILL ISSUE AN E-1 FORM TO MR Mehmood of Delhi, thus completing the chain. And if this chain is broken at any point the party liable shall have to pay 10% as central sales tax

27 April 2011 So in that Case lets see from Mr. Mehmood's perspective.

He will receive Form E1 since he is selling goods to MR. Gupta without charging CST.

However I doubt on his receiving Form C from Mr. Gupta since Form C is issued for charging concessional rate of CST. But in this particular transaction no tax is charged by Mr. Mehmood to Mr. Gupta.
