Rate of tax on RCM liability

Sir, I purchased cement from a dealer which is 28% and after 1 month he gave invoice for transportation on RCM basis @ 5% with ITC. Now, the question is I have also issued bills only for cement how may I issue bill for transportation charges. will it @ 5% or any other.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax rate applicable to transportation charges when a dealer issues a separate invoice. If the dealer is not a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) and issues a bill for transportation, Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) typically does not apply, and the recipient can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the 5% GST charged. However, if the transporter is a GTA, RCM is applicable, and the recipient is liable to pay the GST. The advice suggests that if the dealer is not a GTA, the recipient can claim ITC directly or request the dealer to pay the liability.

Is  Transporter  GTA  ( Goods  Transport Agency )   and  issue  consignment  note ?.  

You may issue bill @ 28%
Dear Akshay
There are 2 transactions involving in your query
1. You Purchase Cement on which GST being charged @ 28% which is fine .

2. Now you got the transportation bill @ 5% GST .

In 2nd transaction , the bill for transportation is from Dealer or from GTA ?????

Assuming that you got bill from Dealer not from GTA : Then no RCM is applicable , you can claim ITC of 5% being charged on bill.
Note : The correct way for billing ,Dealer must have added the transportation expenses in bill for the cement .

Assuming you got the Bill from GTA :
Then in term of Notification 13/2017 CT (R) , You are liable to do RCM .
Note : Ask GTA not charge 5% GST on bill as RCM is applicable & you as registered taxpayer is liable to do RCM.
He is not transporter and he had issued bill for transportation @ 5%

then can claim itc , no need to do rcm

Since the dealer is not GTA you can directly claim ITC. Also you can ask the dealer to pay liability as it is not an RCM transaction

Sir he is not GTA, he have transport division saparately and he issued bill on RCM basis.

my query is I have issued only tax invoice of cement and freight bill is issuing after 10 to 15 days will I give
1) bill of supply and not charging GST @ 5% or
2) charging GST @ 5% or
3) if not above which kind of bill to be issued to party
i.e. is freight Bill saparately issued is exempted ?
