    <title>Central Sales Tax cannot be imposed on branch transfers of packaged explosives; such movements are non-taxable branch transfers</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91783</link>
    <description>CESTAT allowed the appellant&#039;s appeal, setting aside the Sales Tax Tribunal&#039;s order and holding that inter-State levy of Central Sales Tax could not be sustained. The Tribunal determined that transfers of packaged explosives from the manufacturing unit to the appellant&#039;s depots/branches constituted branch transfers, not sales in the course of inter-State trade or commerce, and therefore were not taxable as inter-State sales. The Tribunal applied its prior ruling in a materially similar matter, distinguished other authorities relied upon by the State, and concluded the impugned levy was not legally maintainable. The appeal was allowed and the assessment/order imposing CST was quashed.</description>
