Dear Rakesh,

There is no reverse charge in VAT but Purchase Tax may be leviable if a dealer purchases goods from unregistered dealer in the State and dispose off such goods either in the State or Inter-State without payment of VAT, then, buyer of the such goods is liable to pay the purchase tax at the applicable rate.
