A person includes
Mr. A has a business in Gurgaon and is registered in Haryana. Mr. A went to Delhi for an exhibition and sold goods there. This is an occasional transaction, not an ordinary transaction.

A casual taxable person needs to take registration at least five days before commencing his business.
A casual taxable person has to make an advance deposit of tax in an amount equivalent to his estimated tax liability for the period for which the registration is sought.
For example, Mr. A undertakes a taxable supply of Rs. 1,00,000 then he needs to deposit 18% of 1,00,000 that is Rs. 18,000. (Tax rate assumed to be 18%)

The casual taxable person can apply for multiple registrations within one state.
