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.
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.
