For a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) that has opted for Forward Charge Mechanism at 12% with ITC, the correct SAC (Service Accounting Code) for transportation of goods by road is SAC 996511.
SAC 996511 specifically covers services provided by a GTA for transportation of goods by road, whereas SAC 996791 is more broadly related to other supporting transport services. Fir details refer::

The GST rate of 12% (with ITC) for GTA services under the forward charge is notified under Notification No. 20/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 22nd August 2017, which amended Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017. This notification allows a GTA to opt for 12% GST with full ITC on all services supplied by it.
The classification for GTA services under SAC 996511 is confirmed by the Maharashtra AAR (Advance Ruling), which held that the supply of services in relation to transportation of goods by road by a GTA (issuing a consignment note) falls under Heading 9965, Group 99651, and specifically under SAC 996511.
