MISTAKE IN E1 FORM

[vinod gehlot]

We have done LR sale to one party with 3 bills and sent the C form to party, the front party has given us this E1 form, in addition to these three bills and two other bills have also been added in this E1 form, so what in this situation? This E1 form will be rejected or permitted by tax authority in assessment

thanks

Are you talking of pre-GST era at this stage ? For audit purpose or assessment pending ? The concept of E-1 Form has been replaced by the concept of "Bill to" "Ship to" vide Section 10(1) (b) of IGST Act. Pl. confirm and elaborate your query.

DEAR SIR,

THIS ISSUE IN VAT TAX TIME 01.04.2017 TO 30.06.2017 SO PLEASE RESOLVE THE PROBLEM

I could not trace out anything in your favour.

In our view only for genuine 3 bills it should be allowed against which C forms were issued and CST returns were submitted. Further, you may share the part's ledger account to the assessing authority to substantiate you stand and submissions.

AI Summary

E1 form irregularity may bar recognition of non genuine invoices unless the taxpayer substantiates transactions with party ledger.
E1 form irregularity during a VAT/CST assessment where an E1 form included two extra bills beyond three genuine LR sale bills. The E1 mechanism was later replaced by the Bill to/Ship to concept under IGST, but the relevant period is pre GST. Only the genuine three bills supported by C forms and CST returns should be recognized; the taxpayer should furnish the party ledger and supporting records to the assessing authority to substantiate correct entries.
