Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies who is liable for GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) when transport or freight charges are included in a tax invoice. The consensus is that the entity paying the freight charges to the Goods Transport Agency (GTA) is considered the recipient of the service and is therefore liable to pay GST under RCM on that amount. This applies even if the freight cost is passed on to the customer.

U will collect freight charges includeing tax and u will be pay in rcm liability because ur the recipient of transport agency

No need to pay RCM as you are paying GST on freight in the Invoice.

You are required to pay GST on reverse charge on freight, as you are paying freight charges to GTA .
As per Notification 13/2017 CT (r) , the person who pays or liable to pay freight charges to GTA ,shall be treated as the person as Recepient of services.

So the amount you pay to GTA , RCM is applicable on said amount.

(Note : On bill the freight being charged is not your main supply, & moreover you are not a GTA hence your Recepient is not liable to pay GST under RCM)
You are required to pay GST under RCM
