..... ther words, in case of sale from depot/place of consignment agent, duty will be payable on the price prevailing at the depot/place of consignment agent as on date of removal from the factory. Price at which such goods are subsequently sold from the depot is not relevant for the purpose of excise valuation. As per Explanation 2 to rule 5 of Central Excise Valuation Rules , if factory is not the place of removal', cost of transportation from the factory to place of removal shall not be excluded for the purpose of determining the value of excisable goods. In other words cost of transportation and handling from factory up to depot/place of consignment agent will have to be added for the purpose of valuation, as depot/place of consign .....

..... ment agent is 'place of removal'. When goods are sold through depot/consignment agent, there is no 'sale' at the time of removal from the factory. As per rule 7 of Valuation Rules in such cases, price prevailing at depot/consignment agent (but at the time removal from the factory) shall be the basis of Assessable Value. The value should be normal transaction value' of such goods sold from the depot at the time removal or at the nearest time of removal from factory. For example, if an assesse transfers a consignment of paper to his depot from Delhi to Agra on 5.7.2000, and that variety and quality of paper is normally being sold at the Agra depot on 5.7.2000 at transaction value of ₹ 15000 per metric ton .....

..... n the same they send the goods to their depot. Here the law says that if customers are predetermined i.e. before doing stock transfer the prospective customers are known then the transaction would be Interstate sale and applicable CST would be levied. Thus CST @2% would be levied on the value of transaction from factory at Kerala to depot in Maharashtra if the customers are able to issue you declaration in Form C. Otherwise CST at full rate applicable for that goods would be applicable. This is my view. Thanks. - Reply By YAGAY AND SUN - The Reply = In the matter of Stock Transfer, proportionate ITC shall also be reversed.

If VAT is paid at the factory gate, it is sale and not stock transfer. Place of removal is factory gate. Go through Board' circular no. 999/6/2015- CX dated 28.2.15 based on the judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court. If place of removal is changed, valuation will be changed. It is in context of present position of law. - Reply By YAGAY AND SUN - The Reply = We are sharing with your following two relevant judgements to validate the views as shared by Respected Kasturi Sir:- Depot Price not relevant if ordinary sales were from different .....
