GTA service or not - The adjudicating authority while declining the transportation activity as a GTA service has held that since there is no consignment note, the same cannot be held to be the GTA service. - No doubt in terms of Rule 4B of Service Tax Rule, 1994, issuance of consignment note to the recipient of service is mandatory.
