Of course he will charge GST as he is providing service of arranging trucks. He is eligible to take inputs on charges by truck owners. and will charge GST on service of providing trucks. At the most there can be an exemption as service is being provided to Government deptt however no exemption is notified till date.

I am running GTA , and I am providing trucks to Defence canteens only for their transportation of canteen items. Suppose my bill amount is Rs 10000 ,So as per RCM the service receiver has to pay GST to Govt. That is defence canteens has to take GST registration and pay the 5% of 10000 as GST for service.
So in my view i need not take GST registration as CSD (defence canteens) are paying GST to Gove for the transportation of their canteen items. please clarify my calculation is correct or not and justify please .

Service of goods transportation and service of providing goods on rent are two different services and have to be treated differently.
To save yourself from getting registered amend your contract so instead of providing trucks you directly give him transportation service. Therefore gst will be payable by your customer and not you.
However you will have to get registered if your turnover exceeds 20 lakhs even if you dont have to pay gst on it due to rcm.

For reverse charge to be applicable you have to provide services in capacity of gta.
For gta you must provide services of transportation of goods by road and issue a consignment note. If any of the two conditions are not satisfied then you are not gta and reverse charge will not be applicable.
Even where rcm is applicable and all your supplies are under rcm even then you have to take registration if your turnover exceeds 20 lakhs irrespective of the fact that you are not liable to pay gst due to rcm.

For transportation of old & used household items of serving defence personal for their transfer from one state to another state, Is this service exempted from GST?
Post GST,what are the documents required to cross the check posts for the above mentioned transportation?
(As per the existing notification and Govt orders, all tax and toll is exempted for defence serving officers/personal. Only defence office exemption authority / official letter with round seal is required for E clearance enroute for any states)
