Issue of I form under EI transaction

[vishnumurthi holla]

Dear Sir,

We are a SEZ unit has given contract to 'A'-a Private limited company to construct a PEB for our SEZ Plant. Both SEZ Unit and The Contractors are in Karnataka.

Now The Contractor - A - Purchased some steel from the Manufacturer in Hyderabad and effected direct delivery to SEZ site ( Billed to A and Shipped to SEZ Unit). He has followed Rule 30 of SEZ Rules. Since this Transaction is Interstate Movement , the supplier is asking I form from SEZ Unit, which we are unable to issue as the re is no Buyer and seller relation lies between seller and SEZ Unit.

The contractor Bills it to SEZ unit on Running bill basis.

I need to Know, whether SEZ has to Issue I form to the Supplier or Contractor? What is the way out?

AI Summary

I-form obligation: allocation between contractor and principal for interstate supply to SEZ site requires clarification on buyer status. Allocation of the obligation to issue an I form is questioned where a contractor buys and has goods delivered interstate directly to a SEZ site, is billed by the supplier, and then bills the SEZ unit on a running bill basis; the supplier seeks the I form from the SEZ unit, which disputes issuing it absent a direct buyer-seller relationship.
