Yes he can purchase from Outside the state. The restriction is for Inter-state Outward Supplies not for Inward Supplies.

Yes. Sec 10 of CGST Act 2017 clearly states the conditions of Composition Scheme. One of the condition is that the registered person cannot make inter state outward supply (i.e. sales).

But there is no such restriction on inter state purchases.

It is mentioned that composite scheme is available for dealers doing "intra-state supplies". If a dealer is involved in inter-state supplies , then they have to opt OUT of the scheme.

Many of my seniors are asking that inter-state supplies, only means Sale, but that not the fact. If inter-state includes only sale, than the "intra-state supplies" will also include only sale, so from where the delaer will purchase.

HENCE THE CONCLUSION IS IN COMPOSITE SCHEME, THE DEALER CAN'T MAKE ANY SALE OR PURCHASE FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE.

3. What are the conditions for availing Composition Scheme?

The following conditions must be satisfied in order to opt for composition scheme (updated on 14th december 2017):

No Input Tax Credit can be claimed by a dealer opting for composition scheme
The taxpayer cannot make any inter-state supply of goods.
The dealer cannot supply GST exempted goods
Taxpayer has to pay tax at normal rates for transactions under Reverse Charge Mechanism
If a taxable person has different segments of businesses (such as textile, electronic accessories, groceries, etc.) under the same PAN, they must register all such businesses under the scheme collectively or opt out of the scheme.
The taxpayer has to mention the words ‘composition taxable person’ on every notice or signboard displayed prominently at their place of business.
The taxpayer has to mention the words ‘composition taxable person’ on every bill of supply issued by him.
Those supplying goods can provide services of upto Rs. 5 lakh,

Thank you.
