ILLUSTRATION:
A company receives goods from a GTA in a truck. Some other goods not belonging to the company are also loaded in the truck. The company pays freight of Rs. 900/- to GTA. The freight of other goods is Rs. 500/-. Service Tax is not payable by the company on this consignment as the total freight for the truck is Rs. 1400 (<1501) so it is exempted.
In the above illustration, if the freight of other goods is Rs. 700/-, then the total freight for the truck is Rs. 1600 (>1500). Freight paid by company is Rs. 900 (>750). So, exemption is not available and the company should pay service tax on Rs. 900/-!!
