Form c issue in west bengal

Others 544 views 3 replies

Hello!

I was a dealer in Kolkata (W. Bengal).

I made an inter-state sale to another dealer in Assam. The dealer issued the required Form C as proof for interstate purchase and i submitted the same to the respective officer of my area but the officer is not accepting the Form C and is asking for proof of payment made by the purchaser.

The purchaser has not paid the due amount and therefore, i am not able to submit and payment proof.

Please clear my doubt if the Sales Tax Authority can reject my submission of Form C. I have paid all my taxes and filed all the returns. Can a Sales Tax authority reject any Statutory Form issued by another State's Commercial Tax Department?

If possible, also mention the acts against your explainations.

Thank you so much.

Regards,

Sanu Bhagat

Hi, In Assam, issuance of Forms is manual procedure. Hence, Assessing officer for checking the correctness of transaction may ask for proof of payment. So, you need to submit the proof of payment in order to submit C form. Thanks, Swati

Thanks Swati.

Please pardon me if it troubles you but i have a question.

Form C issued in Assam was issued only after all the verification were done. As the issued form is Statutory, can the W.Bengal Comm. Tax office reject the Form C (which implies that they do not recognise the validity of the Form C issued by the Assam Comm. Tax office).

Also, i have not received any payment from the purchaser. So, there is no payment proof. Can my Form C can still be rejected by the W.Bengal Comm. Tax Authority?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi, Yes, Dept can ask for proof of payment as there may be chances of transaction entered into mere by book entries. Dept of Ahmedabad, Ghatak had recently exposed a scam on bidi traders. Hence, Dept can rightly demand for proof of payment even though it is been issued by statutory authority. Thanks, Swati
