Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which GST to pay under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services when the transporter is unregistered. If you are a registered recipient and the GTA is unregistered, you will need to pay CGST and SGST. The applicable tax rate is 2.5% CGST and 2.5% SGST. This applies when both the supplier (GTA) and recipient are in the same state. If the GTA were registered in a different state, IGST would typically apply, but the core issue here is the unregistered supplier.

You should pay cgst and sgst under RCM
You should pay cgst sgst @ 2.5% 2.5%

Reverse charge shall be applicable in case of supply of taxable goods and/or services by unregistered supplier to a registered recipient. 

If you are registered under GST then POS will be location of registered person. if supplier location and your location with in same state then CGST and SGST applicable and if not IGST applicable.

yes you should pay cgst  and sgst under RCM

so if the GTA is unregistered we will charge CGST/SGST 

and if GTA is registered (in the other state) we will charge IGST 

is that correct ?
