I purchased solar panels from a registered dealer from outside state (UP) for self use in Karnataka. I do not have VAT registration in Karnataka. The transporter is asking for e-sugam. Since I do not have VAT No. I can not submit it. Could you please tell me what are the options for me. The material is lying with the transporter in Lucknow.
Purchasing goods from registered dealer for self use without registration

Interstate VAT compliance: buyer without local registration must obtain e sugam or permit from seller's state for transport. Interstate VAT compliance arises when a buyer purchases goods from an out of state registered dealer but lacks VAT registration in the destination state; the transporter requires an e sugam which the buyer cannot provide. The advised remedial step is to obtain the necessary e sugam or transport authorization from the consignor's state VAT department under a specific provision addressing such situations to allow lawful movement of the goods.
