MVAT Registration in Pune: Complete 2026 Guide to Maharashtra Value Added Tax for Non-GST Goods, Petroleum & Liquor

The Complete Guide to MVAT Registration in Maharashtra (2026)

When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in July 2017, it subsumed dozens of central and state indirect taxes. However, under Article 246A and the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, specific high-revenue commodities were intentionally kept outside the purview of GST. In Maharashtra, trade in petroleum crude, high-speed diesel, motor spirit (petrol), natural gas, aviation turbine fuel (ATF), and alcoholic liquor for human consumption continues to be governed by the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act 2002 (MVAT).

Any distributor, petrol pump dealer, refinery contractor, or liquor stockist in Pune dealing in these non-GST commodities must obtain an official MVAT Registration Certificate from the Department of Goods and Services Tax, Maharashtra. At KOKJAGUAR Consultancy, our indirect tax experts handle MVAT filings, monthly return reconciliation, and audit representation. Explore our MVAT registration services in Pune.
