Again two challan forms for VAT payment under Punjab VAT Act, 2005



 It is for the information of all concerned readers of blog that for VAT payment under Punjab VAT Act, 2005 two challans are required to be filled up. One is VAT-2 and other is VAT-2A. Earlier only one consolidated challan i.e VAT-2 was introduced in suppression of the three challans i.e VAT-2, VAT-2A and VAT-2B w.e.f 14-12-2011. It was a relief for the common taxpayer after the introduction of one consolidated challan in form VAT-2.


But w.e.f 29-06-2012 rule 37(2) of Punjab VAT Rules has been amended and a new challan VAT-2A has been again introduced which is to be used for payment of 11% of VAT amount in the Punjab Municipal Fund’s account. So every dealer while depositing VAT under Punjab VAT act, 2005 should use two challans in form VAT-2 and VAT-2A.

The relevant notification and challan forms VAT-2 and VAT-2A are as follows:
