y the selling co. deposit money in your account. if money sent for meeting godown rent etc., no problem. 

consignment agent means a dealer agrees to take stocks without making payment from the seller and stores and sells and send the balance to the seller after deducting his commission, rent etc.,

understand. if the purchasers are depositing money in the consignor account directly, there will be a technical problem. once or twice no problem, if they are not giving money to you, how you can be consignment agent? The consignor is getting money directly it means he will be the seller.

but if you are showing the sales amounts in your vat returns and making payment of taxes and receiving stocks thru your way bills and storing and despatching to the buyers, then deposit of money is not a big problem. 

The technical issue is: who is transferring the goods to the buyer is important. 

AI Summary

Consignment agent payments: direct remittance to consignor raises agency and tax reporting concerns unless agent records sales and logistics. Whether purchasers may remit proceeds directly to the consignor when a local consignment agent holds and sells goods received by stock transfer; occasional direct deposits for expenses are acceptable, but regular remittances to the consignor may indicate the consignor is acting as seller. If the agent records sales in VAT returns, pays taxes, receives goods via waybills, and manages storage and dispatch, direct deposits are less problematic. The critical issue is who effects the transfer of goods to the buyer and how sales and taxes are reported.
