Please do the FIR and put advertisement in the newspaper regarding the loss of "C" Form and intimation to the department to be given along with the newspaper cutting and FIR.

AI Summary

Loss of C-form requires FIR, newspaper notice and departmental intimation to validate inter-state sales documentation.
When a C-form and its counterfoil are lost in transit, the advised remedial steps are to file an FIR, publish a newspaper advertisement about the loss, and intimate the tax department by submitting the FIR and the newspaper cutting; obtaining a department-attested duplicate C-form from the buyer's jurisdiction is an alternative evidentiary measure.
