AI Summary

MVAT applicability on cotton fabric clarified: CST-defined fabrics and state-notified textile articles attract different VAT treatment. The response distinguishes fabrics defined under the Central Sales Tax definition and state-notified textile articles as separate taxable categories; fabrics so defined are listed under one VAT entry with a lower prescribed rate, while varieties of textiles and textile articles notified by the State Government in the Official Gazette fall under a different VAT entry with a higher prescribed rate, making MVAT treatment contingent on which category the cotton shirting is classified into.
