Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a GST-registered banana trader needs to pay Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on freight charges for transporting agricultural produce. While RCM typically applies to certain services, the transportation of agricultural produce by a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) is exempt under GST Notification 9/2017 CT(R). Therefore, RCM is generally not applicable in this scenario, even for traders.

No ,rcm will be will exempt as you are banana trader are exempt as per gst
In term of Notification 9/2017 CT (r) Services provided by a goods transport
agency, by way of transport in a goods
carriage of -
S.no.2 (a) agricultural produce;
is Exempted .

So as in light of Above No. RCM is applicable.

exemption of agricultural produce is for farmer and not for trader.

In my opinion RCM is applicable.

Dear Anil

As per Notification 5/2017 CT , persons who are only engaged in making
supplies of TAXABLE goods or services or both, the total tax on which is liable to
be paid on reverse charge basis by the recipient of such goods or services or
both under sub-section (3) of section 9 of the said Act as the category of persons
exempted from obtaining registration under the aforesaid Act.

in context to above notification when there is Taxable supply then only Recepient is liable to do RCM & in term of Notification 9/2017 CT (r) the transportation services by GTA in case of transportation of agriculture products is Exempted. So when the services is Exempted then the question of RCM applicability does not arises.
