    Review [URGENT] Tax Issue while purchasing From Online shop

    ST authority usually understand that FK etc ship items for personal use. FK and others also attach a declaration of personal use clause. So it gets through. Try the letter I suggested you write.

    Review [URGENT] Tax Issue while purchasing From Online shop

    Did you give him a waybill and did he then attach this to the invoice and challan? Seller can only charge what the rule of his state is. Your issue is really the absence of a waybill with the shipment, IMO.

    Review [URGENT] Tax Issue while purchasing From Online shop

    First, VAT is charged when the buyer and seller are in the same state. When a buyer is in a different state, then CST is charged. Each state has its own rate of tax. So the seller charges tax (VAT or CST) as per the rules of the state he is registered in. Second, some states have something...

    LOL. Pronunciation... Its called "hammertone". Pretty popular some decades back. Most of us must have seen grandparents' steel almirahs with this enamel paint. These weights are made of iron casted in sand-moulds. So the surface finish is not smooth. Hammertone gives a sort of rough "matte"...

    Welcome Amazon India!

    From what I understand, its not too different from eBay right now. Then this page: http://services.amazon.in/services/sell-on-amazon/pricing.html Says referral fees is 5% (promotional) and 12% later on. So Amazon's cut is 5%/12%. I'm not sure what margins online sellers have, and how long...

    I've read about special non-oil-immersion kind of 100x objectives. I've never seen them actually. They are pretty expensive I'd guess. Again, don't fret too much about the oil immersion thing of 100x. Its no big deal. Besides, 100x objectives are used much less than the other objectives. They...

    True. In fact, the big four of microscopes Olympus/Nikon/Zeiss/Leica do not give 15x eyepieces with their microscopes. You have to buy them separately, and even then not recommended with higher power objectives. What people assume is that microscopes are magnifying instruments. Which is not...

    Almost all microscopes that you get in the Rs. 10K-50K are brightfield microscopes. The background (=field) is white (=bright). The object that you see (f.e. a cell) is stained so that it stands out clearly against this bright background. Stains are basically special chemicals that attach to...

    This is exactly what the dark field stop is. Darkfield technique is used for studying quality of diamonds and gemstones amongst other applications. Phase contrast is a specialised technique for unstained and live specimens. One chief use is in infertility clinics where they impregnate egg with...

    If its a trinoc, then we can get an adapter ready in about 10-15 days. Depending on the SLR, the price varies, but not by much. A Canon adapter is about Rs. 7K. For a Nikon, its about Rs. 7.5K. If its okay to ask you, which medical college are you in?

    Umm, unfortunately we cannot help you with the BX series. They use a different set of lenses that we do not have access to, so we cannot design the adapter. We usually have adapters for the MLX series, CH20 series and CX21 in Olympus. Basically, almost all microscopes which have a 25mm...

    But Leica/Zeiss aren't technically Indian. By Indian, I meant scopes made in India. :-) Btw from what I hear, Zeiss isn't interested in selling microscopes less than Rs 1.5-2 lac. They concentrate on high end ones, ones with fluorescence, phase contrast etc built in.

    Happy to help. We do not come up in Google searches for microscopes. Our focus is on some other products that we manufacture - Fermentors (for growing cells under controlled conditions), Gel Documentation systems (for electrophoresis gels, DNA stuff etc.). Now if you wear glasses and want to...

    Whom are you going to vote in India in 2013-14 elections?

    I think they will. What's funny is that the media houses would want this themselves. Somebody has to pay the bills and running channels and printing newspaper is not so profitable anymore. I'm actually seeing this happen in some news-channels - a softening in the way Modi is presented. Maybe...
