19 April 2008 Either it is consignor or Consignee.

The company would be liable as they have paid on your behalf, but if the company claims not to pay , then assess the following

If you are individual then the transporter has to pay

If you are a company then you need to pay

The limit of ten lacs is not applicable to the Transport of Goods services, as it is an onus on the receiver and not a provision of service.

Should you need for clarification write back to associatedm@gmail.com
