Important

Please note

1
For all states, the consignee party's "ST & CST" number is compulsory.
2
10% or 14% CST is applicable only for own-used materials. For sales, the receiving party must hold a local sales registration certificate. The rate of tax may vary product to product and as per local surcharges of each state — e.g. in Karnataka a 5% cess is levied on the tax.
3
For A.P., Kerala, Punjab & H.P. the ST form is issued at the entry check post, not by the consignee, and is filled in by the driver/agent at the check post. The consignee's ST & CST numbers remain mandatory.
4
Movement of material between interstate Bihar & Jharkhand requires no permit. ST Form 28B differs for Bihar and Jharkhand.
5
In Karnataka, Form 39 is issued by the consignor at the time of booking for specified goods such as iron, steel, rejected/repaired, re-conditioned material and stock transfers. CST & KST numbers of the consignee are mandatory on consignment notes and invoice copies for all incoming materials.
