No.... In case (B) when he is raising bills in FCM then in case (D) he cannot issue bill under RCM .

GTA cannot exercise both the option FCM & RCM in FY .

The treatment in the above-mentioned cases appears to be correct. However, it is advisable to consult with a tax professional or seek guidance from the relevant tax authorities to ensure compliance with the applicable tax laws and regulations.

The correct cases are (A) &(C)

(A) Transportation of own goods: Taxpayer pays outward tax @ 5% with ITC.
(C) Providing trucks to GTA: Taxpayer considers it as an exempt supply under entry no. 22 of exemption notification.

In case (B) where the taxpayer is issuing bills under Forward Charge Mechanism (FCM), it is not possible to issue bills under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) in case (D) for providing trucks directly to companies. GTA cannot exercise both FCM and RCM options in the same financial year.
