MVAT Registration in Pune: Maharashtra Value Added Tax TIN Allotment for Petroleum & Liquor

Post-GST Relevance: MVAT Registration in Pune for Specified Non-GST Commodities

With the historic rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in July 2017, the vast majority of goods and services were subsumed under unified GST laws. However, under Article 246A of the Indian Constitution, specific strategic commodities were deliberately excluded from GST and continue to be governed by state sales tax legislation: the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 (MVAT).

In Pune, businesses trading in, distributing, or retailing petroleum products (crude oil, motor spirit/petrol, high-speed diesel, aviation turbine fuel, natural gas) and alcoholic beverages for human consumption must obtain an independent MVAT Registration TIN from the Maharashtra Department of State Tax. Operating without MVAT exposes fuel pump operators, distributors, and liquor license holders to severe confiscations and penalties. KOKJAGUAR Consultancy manages seamless MVAT filings in Pune.
