Where the consignee is the individual,then the GTA is liable to pay the service tax on the frieght charges. Where the consignor is the individual, then he is liable to pay the service tax on the frieght charges where the GTA has not paid the service tax.

The rule is amply clear that service tax is to be charged by the Goods transport agency if the receiver is a proprietory firm.
If service tax has not been charged, it is not your responsibility to pay service tax.
In this case the consignor consignee position is not applicbale as this is applicable only to the specified 7 categories which excludes proprietory firm.
