11 April 2012 Service tax will be chargeable on Transportation activities, it has nothing to do with transporation of Milk and allied products.

11 April 2012 Dear Varun,
Notification No. 33/2004-Service Tax, dated 3rd December, 2004 exempts service tax
on taxable service provided by the goods transport agency to a customer, in relation to
transport of fruits, vegetables, eggs or milk by road in a goods carriage.

Hence, Milk is exempt but products made of milk is not exempt
