Mr Guruprasad,
A CST invoice has to be raised when the goods are despatched from Bangalore to the Chennai client.If the required goods are held in the Chennai branch stock then invoice can be raised from that branch charging TN VAT. The Chennai branch can not raise a CST invoice while issuing the products locally.For this purpose the branch at Chennai has to be registered under TN VAT Act.....MJK
