12 August 2013 It is clear for service provider in 1) & 2) but service recipient's status is mentioned as dealer. You must specify the dealer's business entity like, individual, firm, company, factory registered under excise/vat/factories act etc.,

Any how, the reply is 1) The transporter is GTA and receiver is specified person. Here only service recipient is liable to pay.
2) When GTA is individual, if he is not issuing consignment note, according to the definition and rules, liability does not arise.
