Now as stated , that the travel agent should charge 18% on commission earned or service charge , but if the whole years total commission and service charged earned is below 20 Lakhs and i have also registered GST member , should we still collect the 18% GST or is it ok if we dont charge anything ? please clarify

As per Section 24 of CGST ACT 2017, the following categories of persons shall be required to be registered compulsorily irrespective of the threshold limit of Rs 20 Lacs:
 

• Persons making any inter-State taxable supply • Persons who supply goods and/or services on behalf of other registered    taxable persons whether as an agent or otherwise

All travel agents will fall under the above exceptions and thus would require to get themselves registered under GST irrespective of the threshold limit of Rs. 20 lacs.

is non AC bus operator having stage carrier required to register for GST?

good clarification and information
