NIL GST for Other Transport Support Services

Dear Friends,

One of our customer is asking us to provide Zero GST Invoice, we are not GTA so, we will not able to show GST under RCM in the Invoice. In this case how so we manage the customer requirements as well how we show this transactions in the GSTR1 & 3B. Showing NIL Returns isn't fair because this is continuing businesses for long term.
Monthly turnover is about 5 Lakhs .
please assist me accordingly.

Quick Summary
A business providing logistics and non-GTA transport support services is seeking guidance on issuing NIL GST invoices as requested by a customer. Unlike GTA services, these logistics services are generally taxable under GST. The discussion clarifies that 'Nil Rated' and 'Zero Rated' supplies have distinct meanings, with zero-rated typically applying to exports or supplies to SEZ units. The consensus is that these logistics services cannot be charged at a NIL rate and must be reported correctly in GSTR1 and GSTR3B.

In term of Section 16 of IagST Act .
Zero rated supply means export , it is made to Sez Unit or when we export to other countries.

So kindly clarify :
If it's is Nil Rated or Zero rated??
To whom you are supplying ????
We are providing other transport support services (Logistics/Non GTA). Our service receiver advised us to issue NIL/Sero rates invoice for our service and asked us to show NIL rated supplies in GSTR1 & 3B.
The logistics services are differ from transportation services , hence are taxable in GST .
Logistics services are integration of storage, transportation, cataloguing, handling, and packaging of goods 
Transportation Services : Deals in moving of products or Individual from one place to other.

And as per Notification 12/2017 CT (r) Transportation of Goods by Road is Exempted.
Hence you can charge Nil GST on logistics services.

** sorry it's typographical error kindly read last line : Hence *Cannot charge Nil rate of tax on logistics services.
