Debate on VAT and CST laws: Is direct delivery from manufacturer to buyer a consignment sale or sale in transit? A discussion on a forum addresses whether a transaction involving a sales office in Tamil Nadu, a buyer in Karnataka, and a manufacturer in Karnataka constitutes a consignment sale or a sale in transit under VAT and CST laws. The query involves the delivery of goods directly from the manufacturer to the buyer. Dinesh Gupta argues it is not a consignment sale since the goods do not move between states. A Ravindra disagrees, citing sections of the CST Act, but Dinesh Gupta maintains his stance, supported by another participant, Rama Krishana.
