This discussion clarifies GST input tax credit (ITC) for services from Goods Transport Agencies (GTA). If the GTA charges GST at 5%, you must pay GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at the same rate and can then claim ITC on that amount. If the GTA charges GST at 6%, RCM is not applicable.

If the GTA charges GST @ 6%, RCM is not applicable. If the same is lesser than 6%, you need to pay GST under RCM @5%. You can avail ITC on the GST charged @5% by the GTA and pay RCM @5%.
