Manoj Chandak : I am a Rice Miller from Chhattisgarh and wish to start Direct Rice Export on Pure Trading basis in the same Firm by purchasing Rice from other Rice Millers. My purchase will be within State as well as Inter State. Please guide me to the VAT and CST or Purchase Tax on both aspects. Also is APEDA RCMC necessary for trading.
