DS-1 mandatory for movement of goods from Delhi to outside Delhi

May 24, 2016 10009 Views 2 comments Print

Govt. has prescribed an online form (DS-1) for outward movement of goods from Delhi to all places outside Delhi before the actual movement of goods occur. Earlier the Delhi Govt. prescribed form T-1 for outward movement of goods but that form was applicable for few commodities like petroleum products, tobacco and gutka. Delhi is a trading hub and manufacturing is negligible in this state which means almost all the goods are imported from outside Delhi and sold in local market to buyers of other states. The Govt. has collected extensive data for import of goods into Delhi through form ds-2 which was prescribed for import of goods into Delhi from 15thSeptember 2015. There is no exemption for filing of form DS-2 which means for a single consignment form Ds-2 needto be filed. As of now there is no exemption granted in the notification dated 19-05-2016 for any kind of commodity or goods for filing form DS-1. Now I will discuss each and every aspect of this form in detail manner with suitable illustrations if necessary.
