[VIGNESH]

sir in- Background Material on Exempted Services under GST - ICAI, tells that service to URD by Registered person is not taxable. Pg-80 (intepretation part )

[Shilpi Jain]

What is mentioned in the ICAI background material is not to views of the ICAI. so should not be taken to be having or carrying that amount of reliance without examining provisions.

[Rajan Atrawalkar]

As per Notification No. 32/2017- Central Tax (Rate) Dt. 13-10-2017: by inserting serial no 21A in the notification 12/2017 , Services provided by a goods transport agency to an unregistered person (other than factory, society, partnership, etc.), is taxable at Nil.

[KASTURI SETHI]

I am also of the same view as opined by Sh. Rajan Atrawalkar, Sir
