Transport Logistics

Transport & Supply Chain Regulatory Practice

The Transport and Logistics sector operates within a highly regulated compliance environment governed by Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) options under GST, real-time cargo movement tracking, and fleet-specific income tax exemptions.

Our practice context encompasses specialized statutory mechanisms including GTA GST option declarations (FCM vs. RCM), mandatory E-Way Bill generation and RFID integration, Section 194C non-deduction declarations for small truck owners (owning 10 or fewer vehicles), and Section 44AE presumptive taxation audits for fleet operators.
