Whether transportation of life saving medicines by a goods transport agency is exempt turns on the notification's enumerated categories for GTA exemption. The listed exempt goods include agricultural produce; consignments under low charge thresholds; milk, salt and food grains; fertilizers and oil cakes; registered newspapers; relief materials for disaster victims; defence or military equipment; and ginned cotton.
