All You Need To Know About From 27C

‘Save money and money will save you.’

  - Jamaican proverb

The future is uncertain, and the past is hazy. Be it the average teenager or simply a working unmarried person, life is has changed drastically, and money is the only factor that makes us happy with every passing day. Nothing else even comes close.

We struggle to enjoy the simpler things in life and do not mind paying that extra penny to go a little bit more further to have just that extra bit of satisfaction. It is next to impossible.

What amplifies that feeling is the constant urge to outperform ourselves with every passing day. For example, we save and finally get ourselves a car, we drive it for a year or two and after a certain period of time, and we feel the need to upgrade to something bigger or faster depending on our budget.

It’s not a very well known fact that this tendency of human beings to move on to something bigger and better makes us vulnerable to being used by the big brands. Brands rely on our this habit and shoot out offers and schemes that attract the consumer towards it that makes us want to go back to that brand, which in our minds is registered as brand loyalty.

The worst of all being, the government takes advantage of all these things by taxing us left right and centre. While you can search online the different kind of taxes and other additional charges. Let's discuss something closely related to taxes and something that is not spoken about that often.

Points to Remember

Form 27C online is a pretty simple thing; the document consisting of this form has mainly only two sections,

• Part 1 and
• Part 2

Let’s discuss the two parts in detail

Part 1 - Part 1 of the document needs to be filled with the buyer, also they have to fill details such as the address, the PAN number, the goods that are being purchased and what are the utilities in relation to these goods.

Part 2 - Part 2 of the document needs to be fulfilled by the seller and details of procurement and what are the reasons for purchase and how they are going to utilize the goods.

Things to remember also include the fact that during form 27C submissions, once you have filled up all the details, make sure to cross check the same thoroughly, in order to be sure as to how and when one has to about it.

It’s very important to keep in mind that any mistake on your part after submission will make you want to go about the entire process all over again. The process will get even more tedious I the case that the seller or buyer was temporarily located in the country and plans to move on to another country or place that is considerably far away from the place of purchase or distribution. Redoing the process might attract additional steps, clauses, terms and conditions. So  that we might end up giving it up altogether.

Another important factor to keep in mind is the process of following up. Submission is not the end of the process; one has to ensure that post submission one has to go about following up over and over again in order to ensure that there are no errors or mistakes in the filling of the form or the details mentioned.

One has to keep in mind that the government process nearly a million forms at a time and picking up flaws or mistakes can be very tedious and time-consuming, much to the dislike of us tax payers. It is a mild inconvenience that we must readily accept and quickly transform our methods in order to suit the ways of working of the government as well.

Keep in mind that we being the citizens of India, this is our duty that has to be fulfilled without fail. Paying the tax is as important as carrying out our jobs and other daily tasks. Keep in mind it's not an easy task but its very essential. 

Summing it up

As a seller, you should inform the consumer, and as a buyer, you should inquire if there is more to the product than simply purchasing the product. You should be aware of the form 27C submission date if not, then do consult someone who is completely aware.
