Cenvat credit of GTA under GST

[Asked by Guest]

Sir,

Whether the Input Tax credit of Inputs, Capital Goods, Input Services were available for the Service provider i.e., transporter?

If it is so what is the sense of 5% NO ITCin the schedule of GST rates for services as approved by GST council?

Transporter cannort used any Input Tax credit of Inputs, Capital Goods, Input Services. What ever GTA collect from customer he need to deposit the same to govt. He cannot set off his liability with cenvat available to him.
