Dear Priyanka, You can avail abatement of 75% under N/N-26/2012 and pay service tax on 25% value of freight. However, you should take a declaration from the transporter that they have not availed any Cenvat Credit for such service.
You may also avail Cenvat Credit for outward freight subject to certain conditions when you are selling goods FOR at your customers premises and you bear the risk during the transit period and freight is included in the AV.
For more details on service tax on GTA, kindly read my article as linked below, which you can also read in R.K. Jain's Service Tax Review STR issue dated 15-01-2014.
