Ans: Applicability of the provision for sale of motor vehicle or any goods other than jwellery or bullion is on "Every person, being a seller........". Hence it is relevant to note the definition of seller as per the IT Act. “seller” means the Central Government, a State Government or any local authority or corporation or authority established by or under a Central, State or Provincial Act, or any company or firm or co-operative society and also includes an individual or a Hindu undivided family whose total sales, gross receipts or turnover from the business or profession carried on by him exceed the monetary limits specified under clause (a) or clause (b) of section 44AB during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year in which the goods of the nature specified in the Table in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1D) are sold or services referred to in sub-section (1D) are provided.

From the below definition, it is clear that the applicability of the provision is only for the individual covered under the tax audit (section 44AB).
