You can claim input of service tax deposited as service receiver under reverse charge if the GTA service is for transportation of Input or Capital Goods or for outward transportation till place of Removal.
I have one doubt about ST notification No 13/2012 in that Govt of India give conditions as follows
in table sl no 7
CENVAT credit on inputs and capital goods, used for providing the taxable service, has not been taken under the provisions of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.

Agree with the Expert, under reverse charge method service receiver of GTA ( upto the place of removal) can claim cenvat as input service .

Harsha , the Conditions in Sl No. 7 is as below
"CENVAT credit on inputs, capital goods and input services, used for providing the taxable service, has not been taken under the provisions of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004."
This is for the Those who are providing the GTA Services and are themselves liable to pay taxes and Not for those who receive GTA Service and are liable to pay service tax as service receiver under reverse charge mechanism.
I assume u are paying ST as service receiver and hence input would be available as discussed earlier.
