Quick Summary
This discussion explores the applicability of GST on freight income earned by a fuel oil trading business. The individual is using a commercial vehicle, originally for personal use, to transport goods for third parties and is receiving freight charges. Their accountant advises that GST is applicable, even though they are not a registered transporter and don't issue delivery slips. The response clarifies that GST applies under Reverse Charge Basis if the recipient is registered, and under Forward Charge if the recipient is unregistered.

On freight charge if u collect money from registered person without GST then the receiver of the service has to pay GST under Reverse Charge Basis. But of collect money from unregistered person then u have to pay GST under forward charge.
