Yes — Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on Goods Transport Agency (GTA) payments is mandatory for Pathankot businesses. Key rules: (1) If GTA is unregistered — recipient (timber trader, stone crusher, food processor) must pay 5% GST under RCM on freight amount. Time of supply for RCM on GTA — earlier of date of payment or 60 days from invoice; (2) If GTA is registered and opted for forward charge — GTA issues invoice with GST, recipient pays GTA directly — no RCM. Recipient can claim ITC on tax paid; (3) Exemption: GTA services where GTA transports goods solely by road from one place to another (no consolidation) — exempted for certain agricultural produce. But timber, stone, and manufactured goods are NOT exempt; (4) RCM ITC: RCM paid by recipient is available as ITC in the same month — timber trader paying ₹5,000 RCM on freight can claim ₹5,000 ITC in same GSTR-3B; (5) Place of Supply for transportation: Location of goods at the time of commencement of transport — for Pathankot to HP/J&K movements, this determines IGST vs CGST. DisyTax sets up complete GTA RCM compliance at ₹999/month — call +91-7065281345.
