What is "Crossing the customs frontiers of india"? Please
explain in layman language.

Answer Posted / abhivirthi tax and industrial

Section 2(ab) of Central Sales Tax Act 1956 states that ‘Crossing Customs Frontiers of India’ means crossing the limits of the area of a customs station in which imported goods or export goods are ordinarily kept before clearance by customs authorities.

Customs Station and Customs Authorities have same meaning as per Customs Act.

Customs Station means customs port (for vessels), customs airport (for aircrafts) or land customs station (for trucks or motor vehicles).

Central Government is authorised to specify such places. Within such customs port, ‘Customs Area’ is specified by Customs Authorities where imported goods or export goods are ordinarily kept by customs authorities.

Relevance of this provision is that documents of title can be transferred immediately after goods are entrusted to carrier after obtaining clearance from Customs authorities for export. It is not necessary to wait till the ship/aircraft actually leaves India.

In simple the the place where goods were kept or stored before export and the place where goods were kept or stored after import is called Customs Area and crossing of goods through that area is called “Crossing Customs Frontiers of India”

Sir, We purchased coal from NCL on CST basis. An incentive is paid on the basis of performance basis of NCL. NCL Raise there incentive bill for Rs. 1000+CST2% Rs.20 Total Rs. 1020/-. But As per Our Calculation, Incentive bill should be Rs. Basic 900+18 (CST)total Rs. 918. We argue and disputed and paid only Rs. 918/- . After Some time they also agree that incentive amount should be Rs. 900+CST but Now they revised the bill like this Basic Incentive Rs. 900+CST Rs.20/- (Original Tax value). And now they are demanding C for with CST 20/- but our pleas is that we are not liable for the mistakes made by the NCL and will issue C for for Rs. 18 Only. Now They are demanding C for for difference of Rs. 2 of CST. My Question is what should be the actually value of C form for CST ie. Rs. 18 or 20. considering the fact that we accounted only rs. 918/- in books and disputed is resolved after one year for basic value.
