For rent-a-cab where the car is self-driven by the customer and fuel is paid by the customer, the correct classification is “renting of motor vehicle designed to carry passengers”.
The taxpayer may choose either:

  • GST @ 5% (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST) without ITC, or

  • GST @ 12% (6% + 6%) with ITC.

Composition @ 6% is NOT allowed for this service.
