GST Registration for GTA

Hi folks. If a GTA obtains registration under GST law, is he required to discharge his GST liability @ 5% or will he still be covered under RCM.

And how this will be treated in GST returns.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST implications for Goods Transport Agencies (GTAs) when they register. It addresses whether a registered GTA must pay GST at 5% under forward charge or if Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) still applies. The conversation also touches on how these scenarios are reported in GST returns, specifically GSTR-3B and GSTR-1.

In case if gta takes registration then it can be opted to pay gst @ 12% and allowed to take itc.
otherwise if you opting for rcm @ 5% then you are not allowed to take itc

Thankyou for your reply. i am aware of this. But if the GTA obtains GST registration and opts for 5%, whether he will still be under RCM or in forward charge. Please give references of the sections and notifications. If under RCM, in which table of GSTR 3B and GSTR-1, the supplies of GTA will be shown.
