K Purushothaman: As far as the GST Act 2017 is concerned, it is still not clarified anywhere if a Merchant Exporter who is from New Delhi and has a GST Registration number, purchases material from another State in India, preferably from a manufacturer who has a GST number, need to have separate GST Number from the State from where the material is purchased and exported. Also need clarification about if the manufacturer can give an undertaking to the Customs that the material so sold to the exporter is exported by the exporter, either factory stuffed in containers or stuffed at the port of shipment based on documentary proof of the exporter given to the manufacturer viz. Bill of Lading, inspection certificate of inspection agency like SGS/Bureau Veritas who have sealed the containers with their sealing. Since Merchant exporters are facing difficulty in export of the goods purchased from manufacturers in India, the above need to be clarified clearly with a notification with a heading "merchant exporter exporting goods" so that it will be clear to all.

Vipul Jain: Is there any other requirement of registration in more than one state in case of supply of services.
