GST PROCESS
0% GST – Under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)
When only transportation services are availed, and the recipient declares that they will pay the GST directly to the government under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), the applicable rate is 0%. This applies only if the recipient holds a valid GST number.
5% GST – Transportation Only
If you use only the transportation service (without additional services like packing or loading), 5% GST is applicable. This is charged solely on the logistics component of the invoice.
12% GST – Corporate Transportation
When a company avails only transportation services for business purposes, a 12% GST rate is applied. This does not include any value-added services like packing, loading, or dismantling.
18% GST – Full-Service Relocation
For comprehensive moving services including dismantling, packaging, loading, transportation, unloading, and insurance the applicable GST rate is 18%. This is the standard rate defined by the Government of India for bundled services involving labor and materials.
28% GST – Incorrect Application
A 28% GST rate is reserved for luxury items such as gold, silver, and premium fashion apparel. It is illegal and fraudulent for a packers and movers service provider to charge 28% GST. Consumers should be cautious and verify the legitimacy of such charges.
Choosing an IBA-Approved Packers and Movers Service
Always opt for an IBA-approved (Indian Banks’ Association) packers and movers service provider. These companies ensure compliance with government regulations and protect customer interests. In the event of unforeseen incidents, having a properly billed invoice ensures your insurance claims are valid and honored.
