FAQ’s on (eUPaSS) – E-Upload of Purchase and Sales Statement:

As per CCT Circular No 6/14-15 dated 16.06.2014, the dealers who are dealing in 100% exempted purchase and sales under local transactions are excluded from submitting the purchase and sales statement.

Basically such interstate purchases require C form to be issued to the seller, while claiming exemption on second and subsequent interstate sales, E1/E2 forms are required to be obtained from the selling dealer and produced before the VAT authorities. Therefore you may upload such purchases as against “C forms for E1 & E2 Purchases” under direct entry and use code “CE” for entering the data in XML converter for Upload XML file
