The concept of ceiling of 9 lakh or 10 lakh is not applicable for service tax discharge under reverse charge mechanism in line with rule 2(1) of service tax rules 1994.
For payment of freight under reverse charge concept, registration is needed under taxable category of GTA.
You need to amend your RC.

dear friend,
As per service tax rules, 1994 the basic exemption limit concept is only applicable from the view point of service provider and not from the view point of service recever . if service receiver means company receiving any transportation services from their transporter the S.R are required to charge, collect and pay to the dept. and for the same they can also avail cenvat credit . IN THAT CASE SERVICE RECEIVER WILL GET ABATEMENT OF 75% AND ONLY ON 25% THEY ARE REQUIRED TO CHARGE AND PAY TO DEPT.
IF THE AMT. IS >= RS.1500/-
