How can goods be transported in a car ?

Dear

As per GTA service definition, a builty or consignment note is issued by GTA.

In this case no such evidence exists. Hence NO RCM will apply in this case.

HIRING of Motor Vehicle service orovisions will apply & TDS provisions will also apply.

[KASTURI SETHI]

If it is so, it will be covered under the erstwhile category of Supply of tangible goods/right to use of tangible goods. (Now other than negative list).

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Sir in that case reverse charge would not apply. Thanks.

Cars are not meant for carrying of goods until unless they bear Yellow number plate. Otherwise, it is voilation of the provisions of Motor Vehicle Act. Further, cab owner do not issue bilty. Hence, no reverse charge would be application on this transaction.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Yes. Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji. In that situation neither RCM nor abatement is admissible.

Respected Kasturi Sir,

From the core of my heart, I had praised you. But it was meant otherwise. Now, from today onward, we will not usher a single word of Praise on TMI for our expert fellows. However, we all are learners, it does not matter that whether we are of 23 years or of 35 years or of 65 years.

Even, we want to clarify it and we had called you up. But you have not picked up your phone.

Thanks & Regards,

YAGAY and SUN

Dear Sirs, Let us relish cordial relationship. I do not want to earn displeasure of any expert. Life is meant for enjoyment.

[YAGAY AND SUN]

Dear Sir,

It all give and take relation in profession but nothing personal.

Regards,

Right Sir. Exchange Theory !

I have a view which may be considered

Main component of the service is shifting of the goods by the service provider and the wordtransportation does not fit here and the distance of the shifting is also as per vasrtious judgements decide the GTA service classification. In my view all the ingredients of gta service are lacking . it is definitely a service and not a GTA service. No liability rests with the service receiver.
