You do not need a separate GST registration for the GTA business if it is carried on within the same state under the same PAN.
You can:
Use your existing GSTIN,
Add GTA as an additional business activity on the GST portal,
And raise invoices for GTA services using the same GSTIN.

A GTA has two primary options for paying GST under the forward charge mechanism, and there is also a reverse charge mechanism that applies in specific cases.
1. Forward Charge Mechanism (FCM)
A GTA can opt to pay GST themselves under the forward charge mechanism. This option must be exercised at the beginning of the financial year. Under FCM, a GTA has a choice between two rates:
5% GST (without ITC): The GTA charges 5% GST on the transportation service but cannot claim any Input Tax Credit on their own expenses (like fuel, vehicle maintenance, etc.).
12% GST (with ITC): The GTA charges 12% GST and can claim Input Tax Credit on all eligible inputs and services. This option is often chosen by GTAs with significant input costs.
2. Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)
If a GTA does not opt to pay tax under the forward charge mechanism, the reverse charge mechanism automatically applies. In this case, the recipient of the GTA service is responsible for paying GST at a rate of 5%. The GTA is not eligible for Input Tax Credit in this scenario.
