As per Section 65B(26) of the Finance Act, 1994; “Goods Transport Agency means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called”.

Therefore your client will be considered as GTA.

In that case he will not fall under the definition of GTA as it specifically says "and issues consignment note".
