Tax on Machinery/Cranes movement on a project

[Guest]

Sir, Till now we were involved in construction projects in karnataka where we could move our machineris/consumebles just raising e-sugam challen. Now we have new project to work in Telangana State where I plan to take all of our existing Machinery, Cranes, etc...from karnataka to telangana project site. I came to know that it's required to pay entry tax for all of machinery that we carry from karnataka and life-time road-tax for cranes while entering Telangana State. Since we have already paid required taxes in Karnataka for these machinery/cranes which is more than 4 years old, what's need to be done. What options do I have. Please suggest us. Thanks - Manjunatha

Sir, in my view, Entry Tax on the machinery, cranes as mentioned in your query is not leviable because they are not bought or are going to be registered in Telangana State. Thanks.
