Dear Experts,
we are in the receipt of notice from the District Register and Deputy commissioner of stamps regarding the levy and collection of stamp duty on acknowledgment issued by the Courier companies.The Notice states that According to Art: 1(ii) of the karnataka Stamp Act all the courier Companies is liable to pay stamp duty on acknowledgment issued by the Courier companies . Accordingly they are asking the annual account statement of our Company, failing action shall be taken under section 67(b) of the karnataka Stamp Act. They are also enclosing the copy of Audit enquiry conducted by the Accountant General of India dated 16.02.2009. Under this the Amendment made by the karnataka Stamp Amendment Act 1995 (act no 8 of 1995) Art: 1 amended as Acknowledgment \of a letter article, document, parcel,package or consignment, of any nature or description whatsoever name called given by a person ,Courier Company, firm or body of persons weather incorporated or unincorporated to the sender of such letter, article document, parcel package or consignment. The proper stamp duty prescribed was one rupee for every one hundred rupees or part thereof of the amount charged therefor".
My question is : If we are paying the amount as such , we have to pay Crores of Rs for every year, It will be huge loss to the business.
From the 1995 they are not collected these amount& This year only they are starting to issue the notices to all the courier companies
How can we challenge this notice ? or this Amendment.
Can a consignment Note issued by the courier compant will be treated as an instrument? or its a receipt? Can receipt will be treats as an instruments?
Please advise.

Can any one forward Circular/ Notification / Guidelines issued by CBEC / any other, mentioning that High Value Goods or Heavy Goods falling under Chapter ID 84158210 (air conditioner).
Is Samples necessary to be drawn or not at the time of export of goods ?
Just imagine a car mfg export car to Sri Lanka or any where how come its possible to give sample of car at the time of every export.
You might be knowing
Three sets of samples are drawn at the time of examination or sealing of export goods. Two sets of samples, duly sealed, are handed over by the Central Excise Officer examining the consignment to the exporter or his authorised agent for delivery to the Custom Officer at the point of export. The Central Excise Officer for his record retains the third set of sample.
Hope that you shall forward your fruitful guidelines in this matter

We have a manufacturing business and now starting up another manufacturing unit in a different city but in the same state. My question is do we need a new C.S.T. number for the new unit or we can use the same C.S.T. number as the new unit is the part of the same company but is involved in a diffrent trade. Please guide me what we are supposed to do and how? thank you.
