3. Thus, the primary qualifying condition for availing the rate of tax prescribed under sub-section (1) of Section 8 is registration under the CST Act. Consequent upon migration to the GST regime, the registration granted earlier under the CST Act became automatically invalid.
4. New registration can be granted under Section 7(1) of the Act only if a dealer is liable to pay tax on account of inter-state sales of the goods enumerated in clause (d) of Section 2 of the CST Act. Similarly, registration can also be granted to dealers who are liable to pay tax under the OVAT Act. Under no other circumstances, grant of registration can be considered.

e Act relating to telecommunication network or mining or generation or distribution of electricity or any form of power. On the other hand, the said clarification does not dispense with the requirement of registration under the Act for availing the rate prescribed in Section 8 (1). It is reiterated that registration under the Act is the primary condition for a dealer to avail the rate prescribed in Section 8 (1). Therefore, the dealers who are no more liable to pay tax under the CST Act or under the OVAT Act cannot be considered for grant of registration. Consequently, they cannot make inter-state purchase of any of these six goods against Form C.
Therefore, it is hereby re-iterated that all the instructions contained in the CCT Circular N

GST Update on ITC passed on by Input Service Distributor through GSTR-6

GST Update on ITC passed on by Input Service Distributor through GSTR-6
By: – Pradeep Jain
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 14-11-2017

Under GST regime, head office of a company is treated as a distinct person requiring separate registration as input service distributor (ISD) if it intends to distribute the credit. In such a case, separate return is being prescribed in form GSTR-6 which is supposed to be filed monthly between the 10th to 13th of subsequent month. The invoices on which ITC is distributed by the ISD are filed by it in GSTR-6. These details will auto-populate in form GSTR-2A of the recipient unit, which when accepted will be included in GSTR-2. While GST is in its transitional phase as of now, there is no u

of details manually submitted in GSTR-2 by recipient of distributed ITC. Under current scenario, when the utility of GSTR-6 is not available and GSTR-2 are in process of filing and in some cases already filed, the above stated anomalies have serious effects. If the option of availing the ITC through manual filing in GSTR-2 is not given, whether the ITC legitimately available will lapse? If this facility is provided, how the correlation of ITC at ISD's end will be possible? This problem will particularly arise where the number of recipient units is on higher side. More the recipient units, more are the chances of errors. Suppose, the manual submission by recipient unit is allowed in GSTR-2 and the ISD return is not filed and the recipie
