03 August 2025 In the case of goods sent for job work, Form F (under CST Act) is generally issued to claim exemption from Central Sales Tax (CST) on interstate sales.

Here’s how it works for your situation:

M/S XYZ Ltd. (Principal) sends goods to ABC Ltd. (Job worker) for processing.

Goods are returned back to M/S XYZ Ltd. after job work.

Who should issue Form F?
M/S XYZ Ltd. (the principal) should issue Form F.

Reason:

Form F is issued by the buyer of goods to the seller to claim concessional CST.

In the case of job work, the principal (owner of goods) is the one making the interstate purchase.

The job worker (ABC Ltd.) is not purchasing goods but processing them.

When goods are returned from the job worker to the principal, the principal can issue Form F to get concessional CST on transfer of goods.

Summary:
M/S XYZ Ltd. (buyer/principal) issues Form F for purchase from outside state.

ABC Ltd. (job worker) does not issue Form F as they are not the buyer.

If the goods are being sold by ABC Ltd. to XYZ Ltd., then ABC Ltd. (as seller) may need Form F from XYZ Ltd. But as per your question, it’s a job work process and no sale is involved, so only the principal issues Form F.
