Entry Tax in different states in India – Part 6 – Rajasthan

The Rajasthan High Court [Jodhpur Bench], while delivering the judgement in Dinesh Pouches Ltd vs State of Rajasthan & Others, held that the Rajasthan Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 1999 is unconstitutional and invalid.

The High Court held that the Act was not compensatory as no special services were provided to those from whom the tax was collected. The Act was held to impede interstate trade and commerce. The prior assent of the President was not obtained as required by Article 304(b) of the Constitution.

Date of decision: 21st August 2007

    Entry Tax is applicable or not as it was lying pending for final decision.

    Your valuable opinion required.
    09829360075

  3. The decision dated 21 Aug 2007 still stands and the entry tax in Rajasthan has been held unconstitutional. However, you must contact a CA or Advocate in sales tax practice in Rajasthan for confirmation.

  4. One Govt. Dept of Rajasthan is saying to impose Entry tax, as per them no any official infomration in this regard from Rajasthan Govt., On that basis they are going to cancle my bid in one tender.

    Please confirm to whom i can collect official information regarding ending of Entry tax in rajasthan. Pls .reply asap

    If i want to sell materials to a charitable organisation in Rajasthan which is not having any CST or LST Registration do I need to get any entry form or Way bill from the said organisation. If yes what is the procedure to do so as they are not involved in any commercial activities and hence do not have any registrations.

  6. Gajanand Verma on June 11th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    The issue of Entry Tax in the state of Rajasthan is still pending under SC presently. the Act is declared unconstitutional and void wait and watch till the decission of the Suprem Court.

  7. We are plastic Bag manufacturer in Gujarat, We want to sell our product in Rajasthan. we would like to know, is there any Entry Tax on our product for the buyer of Rajasthan.?
    if our buyer has no C.S.t. No. can we sale to them by charging Gujarat Vat Rate as C.S.T. without having Vat Form-47

  8. Gajanand Verma on August 3rd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    Plastic Bag is covered under the entry tax in the state of Rajasthan @4% and will be exempted if the Vat paid on further sale in the state of Rajasthan.
    VAT-47 form is mendatory for import any goods in Rajasthan the Plastic bag is falling under the list issued for the Purpose of rule 53 as declared goods for the VAT-47. if your buyer has no CST you can sold goods to him charging Gujarat VAT and the bilty will be made in the name of buyer to buyer (self) if you dispatche the goods in your name it covered under CST sales.

  9. If my buyer in Rajastha has no CST No.,He is manufacturing Textile Cloth on which there is no Vat applicable.
    Now if I sale to them and prepare bilty by self,then what document required for transprotsation of Goofs?, Our Bill mantioning Local Vat of Gujarat state in his name can be considered as a Valid document for transporation to Rajasthen in case of Self Bilty

  10. Gajanand Verma on August 6th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

    Yes,the local purchase bill ie Gujrat vat paid bill (No Credit Invoice) is the sufficient document for importing the goods for him self.

  11. If I sale the plastic bags in Rajasthan without ‘C’ form with local Gujarat Vat. In this transcation whether my buyer of Rajsthan will have to pay Entry Tax in rajasthan or not? if he does not have any C.S.T. No.

  12. Rishabh Sancheti Advocate Rajasthan High Court on August 8th, 2009 at 1:39 am

    The present status can be summarized as under:

    1. While a division bench of the Rajasthan High Court has held the Act to be ultra vires / unconstitutional, two other division benches, had held it to be intra vires.

    2. Ergo, the matter has been referred to a three judge bench, and is pending consideration as on date.

    3. The matter is also pending consideration of a larger bench of the Supreme Court of India, as it has framed specific questions for reference in its order dated December 17th, 2009 in Jaiprakash Associates Case.

  45. what is the rate of tax i have to pay if i brought a commercial vehicle from other state and which type of tax duty it will called?

  46. rishabh sancheti on November 17th, 2010 at 12:22 pm

    @ Gaurav

    The rate of tax to bring in a commercial vehicle will depend on the nature of vehicle, and whether you want to bring the vehicle for ‘own use’ or for resale.

    Also, there is a dispute presently going on with regard to whether both entry tax on goods AND entry tax on motor vehicles is payable, or only one of them. In addition to this, the road-tax (under Rajasthan Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, 1951) is also leviable on all vehicles which are liable for registration.

    hope this helps,
