Dear Experts,
GST on GTA services is payable in cash under RCM on or before 20th of next month.
Whether such GST credit is allowed on payment basis (i.e next month) or credit can be taken in same month (i.e accrual basis).
May kindly reply with relevant section, rules, circular, clarification etc

Various examples were provided to illustrate the process, emphasizing that the credit should be utilized against the regular output tax before filing returns, thereby optimizing cash flow and reducing working capital burdens.
