Is it possible for a registered transporter to issue two different invoices to two different recipients out of which GST charged on one and under RCM to second party?

In case of GTA services, the GTA service provider has an option to collect tax @12% in the tax invoice (Supplier of GTA services can claim ITC on his inward supply). In case he opt not to charge in the invoice (no credit to GTA supplier on his inward supplies), the recipient has to pay tax under RCM and claim ITC of such tax. Now the question is whether GTA service provider can avail both the options simultaneously? As per the notification there is no restriction in collecting tax in one invoice , and not collecting tax in another invoice (RCM). The challenge in doing that practice is determining the eligible credit. Since in the first option credit is allowed but in the second option credit is not allowed to supplier of GTA services.

Notification 20/2017 -Central Tax rate that prescribes 6% GST rate for GTA's under forward clearly states that "Provided that the goods transport agency opting to pay Central tax @ 6% under this entry shall, thenceforth, be liable to pay Central tax @ 6% on all the services of GTA supplied by it." This leaves no option for the GTA to opt for differential rates.

I think you have taken me wrong. I mean in any other case where he choose to tax 5%, then can he issue tax invoice charging Tax and Invoice under RCM simultaneously?

Simultaneously cannot be done. He has to choose either (a) to charge 12% in all his invoices or (b) Should not charge any tax in his invoice, the recipient should pay tax @5% RCM. for few invoices (with respect to GTA services) option (a), few invoice option (b) cannot be taken by same registered person as per the said notification.
