20 July 2025 Great question!

When you're dealing with Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under GST, especially for freight/GTA (Goods Transport Agency) services, the place of supply rules and type of GST to apply (IGST vs CGST/SGST) are very important.

✅ Your Scenario:
You are located in Haryana.
You availed freight service from a transporter located in Delhi.
Goods were delivered within Haryana.
You are liable to pay RCM on freight.
📌 RCM on Freight – IGST or CGST+SGST?
The tax type depends on the Place of Supply under Section 12 of the IGST Act.

🚛 Freight Service (GTA)
According to Section 12(8) of the IGST Act:
Place of supply = location of the recipient, if the recipient is a registered person.
So, if you are registered in Haryana, the place of supply is Haryana.

Now apply the location of supplier vs place of supply rule:

Supplier (GTA) Place of Supply GST Type
Delhi Haryana IGST (Interstate supply)
✅ Answer: You should pay IGST under RCM.
📝 Summary:
Yes, RCM is applicable if you received services before 13 Oct 2017 (RCM suspension date).
After 13 Oct 2017 to 31 Mar 2018, RCM on unregistered supplies was suspended (as you correctly noted).
For freight service from an out-of-state GTA (Delhi) to your Haryana address, IGST is payable under RCM.
