Place of supply for GTA services

XYZ Ltd. (Maharashtra) paying freight charges to the transporter for transporting goods from 1) Chennai to Maharashtra where the transporter is from Chennai and 2) From Pune to Mumbai where the transporter is from Pune. In both cases, XYZ need to pay GST under reverse charge and in that case XYZ need to pay CGST + SGST or IGST?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Place of Supply (POS) rules for Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services under GST, particularly when the recipient pays under reverse charge. The POS is generally the location of the recipient if they are registered. This determines whether IGST or CGST/SGST applies, depending on the location of the recipient and the transporter.

In both cases igst since pos is Maharashtra
For considering tax IGST, CGST,SGST PLACE OF TRASPORTER/REGISTRATION PLACE IS IMPORTANT
IGST will be applicable
1) POS is Maharashtra and transporter in Chennai and hence IGST 2) POS is Maharashtra and transporter also in Maharashtra and hence CGST & SGST
1) POS is Maharashtra and transporter in Chennai and hence IGST 2) POS is Maharashtra and transporter also in Maharashtra and hence CGST & SGST

I stand corrected for the second case

In term of Section 12(8) of IGST Act ,
in case by way of transportation goods , the POS will be :
Location of Recepient if he is registered else location where the goods being handed over for transportation.

Now in your case the Recipient is XYZ ltd which I assumed is registered (the person paying for transportation services)

So in first case IGST will be applicable.
& in 2nd case CGST/SGST will be applicable.
