Sir, the statutory form favouring concessional rate of tax is required to be substantiated. In absence of supporting documents evidencing the nature of transaction differential tax may be demanded. This is because in past it was experienced misuse of such form . Hence the need arised. Thanks.

Sir, the documents like purchase invoice, goods receipt note, LR copy which proves the movement of goods should be collated to prove the interstate transaction. The list of transaction covered in a single statutory form is annexed with the form. Thanks.

You may contest if it is genuine one.

Sir, the department is becoming more concern in checking the concessional forms. I have seen a Circular issued in one State addressing to the Assessing Officers by the Department to ensure specifically about the forms. Also I have seen a Circular in another State where various checks available in the forms were elaborated. Similarly to that of the security feature a currency notes has. Thus in nutshell utmost care is required in respect of forms.
