Mr. Ganesh,

You can adopt the rule of Sale Against Form-E1/C. Here, you will pay CST @ 2% or 1% Against Form-C (As per state law) against your purchase. Your consignment will be directly sent by your supplier to the party you want to sell i.e. Sale-in-transit. Now, you will raise the invoice to your party without charging VAT/CST. That party whether it's local dealer or outside state, will issue you a Form-C against that transaction. Now you will have to send the following documents to your supplier for getting Form-E1 issued. The Documents are:

1. Copy of bilty endorsed by the party (Receipt against material confirmation)
2. Copy of Sale Invoice raised by you against the transaction
3. Copy of Form-C issued by Party to you.
4. Copy of Form-C issued by you to Supplier.

Hope, your query is solved.
