While we filing the Sales tax return in Annexture 1A we mentioned CST TIN no to generate on line C form.  While we generate C form there is one meesage seller TIN not verified in TINXSYS.

I will analyze and revert to you. If you furnish your cell number I can contact you in this regard.

Even though I have not practical experience in this regard in my view GST TIN is to be mentioned.

Sir,

Mention the 11 Digit Supplier CST TIN number Like (34000000000) in your Annexure 1A.

In CST Transaction only CST TIN is required to be mentioned for the purpose of issuance of Form C. However, there is merely any difference between CST TIN or VAT TIN, in some states after TIN suffix C or V is required to be mentioned for representing it as Central or VAT number. This hardly makes any difference.

AI Summary

CST TIN requirement for interstate sales: use supplier's CST TIN to generate Form C for CST transactions.
For interstate CST transactions the supplier's CST TIN must be entered in Annexure 1A to generate Form C online; using an alternate GST/VAT TIN can result in seller TIN not being verified in TINXSYS. Some states use suffixes to mark central or VAT numbers, but that convention does not alter the need to provide the CST TIN as the operative identifier for Form C issuance.
