@ Nitin Saboo Sir,

As per the Provision of Section 11 of the CGST Act 2017 read with Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax ( Rate ), dated 28.06.2017 :

"SERVICES BY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS BY ROAD WILL BE EXEMPTED FROM GST".

Moreover, As per the Provision of Section 23 clause (a) of the CGST Act 2017 : "Any Person engaged EXCLUSIVELY in the business of supplying goods or services or both that are not liable to tax or wholly EXEMPT from tax, shall not be liable for Registration under GST."

Hence, Registration under GST is not required.

Regards,
Shivam RC.
