Shipping to Bangalore New rule by Courier Companies Seller Beware

[mumbaistores]

Hello Ebay Community,

I am a seller shipping all over India. I sell goods like Electronics, Mp3 and Mobile Phones. I use TNT to ship Mobile phones since no one except Bluedart and TNT accept Mobiles. Today when i went to TNT office to send a mobile phone to Bangalore, i was told by TNT Customer Service that Bangalore Customs department now requires TIN for all orders even though it may be person to person. Till yesterday i was sending successfully to Bangalore and more than 50% of my customers are from Bangalore. But now due to this new rule i believe i am going to face issues fulfilling orders for Bangalore.

I want the seller community to help and advise if anyone else besides me facing the same issue for Bangalore. IF yes does anyone has a possible solution. Can ebay help in anyway. Thanks for your replies in advance, Appreciate open discussion.

Hello Mumbai Stores,

If you go by the law, as soon as you make a single interstate transaction, you have to apply for VAT / CST registration. You are allowed upto 30 days from your first interstate sale to get your VAT / CST numbers.

Rest, you can consult any sales tax practioner / CA.
