No limit on expenses.but it's always good to pay the frieght amount through cheque only. RCM through cash/ bank only

@ Chintan
No RCM is applicable on payment of freight 100/- to GTA.

In tern of Notification 12/2017 CT

ITS Exempted where consideration charged
for the transportation of goods on a
consignment transported in a single
carriage does not exceed one thousand
five hundred rupees;

Dear Sownanya

lets understand with Example:

A company receives goods from a GTA in a truck. Some other goods not belonging to the company are also loaded in the truck. The company pays freight of Rs. 800/- to GTA and freight of other goods is Rs. 900/-; then the total freight for the truck is Rs. 1700 (exceed 1500). Freight paid by company is Rs. 800 (>750). So, exemption is not available and the company should pay GST on Rs. 800/-.
