State Act
Section 42. Accounts
CHHATTISGARH COMMERCIAL TAX ACT 1994
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Madhya Pradesh Vat Act, 2002 (No. 20 of 2002), s.72, as printed in the Madhya Pradesh copy of that Act: "The Madhya Pradesh Vanijyik Kar Adhiniyam 1994 (No.5 of 1995) shall stand repealed on the date of coming into force of this Act"; it may still apply to matters that began before then.
Sec. 42 : Accounts (1) Every registered dealer and every dealer liable to pay tax under this Act shall maintain correct account of his purchases, sales and stocks showing value, of different kinds of goods subject to different rates of tax under this Act and shall likewise maintain stock accounts showing value of raw materials and of finished goods. (2) If the Commissioner considers that the accounts maintained by any dealer or any class of dealers do not sufficiently enable him to verify the returns referred to in sub-section (1) of Section 26 or the assessment cannot be made on the basis thereof, he may by an order, require any dealer or by notification any class of dealers, to keep such accounts including records of manufacture, sales, purchases or transfers in such forms and in such manner as he may, subject to rules made under this Act, direct.
