Hi Suresh, GTA means Goods Transport Agency... Thus, there shall be an agency involved for transportation of goods. Therefore, if the goods are transported by the Company on its own vehicle would not amount to a GTA service. Hence, there would not be any service tax liability on you.

Yes. since there is no consignment issued and company cannot issue consignment note as like GTA there would not be any problem
