Issues: Whether Rule 11B(2)(c) of the Central Sales Tax (Kerala) Rules, 1957 was ultra vires Section 6(2) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 and beyond the rule-making power conferred by Section 13(3) and Section 13(4)(c) of the Act.
Analysis: The exemption under Section 6(2) is subject to compliance with prescribed requirements, and the State Government's power under Section 13(3) extends to rules not inconsistent with the Act. Section 13(4)(c) specifically authorises rules requiring furnishing of information relating to the business of a dealer as may be necessary for the purposes of the Act. The impugned rule merely requires production of specified transport and title documents to support the claim for exemption and operates in aid of the statutory scheme. It does not alter the content of Section 6(2), nor does it conflict with the Central Sales Tax (Registration and Turnover) Rules, 1957.
Conclusion: Rule 11B(2)(c) is valid and intra vires the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956.
Final Conclusion: The declaration of invalidity was unsustainable, and the challenge to the rule failed.
Ratio Decidendi: A State rule framed under the CST Act is valid if it is consistent with the parent Act and merely prescribes additional procedural or informational requirements necessary to implement the statutory exemption, without amending or contradicting the substantive provision.
