Frequently Asked Questions on GTA Invoicing
What is the difference between SAC code 9965 and 9967 in transport?↓
SAC 9965 covers freight transport services by road under a GTA consignment note. SAC 9967 covers auxiliary logistics services such as cargo handling, loading/unloading, and storage. Bilty categorizes both automatically.
When should a transporter charge 5% RCM vs 12% Forward Charge?↓
Under 5% GST without Input Tax Credit (ITC), liability falls on the service recipient under Reverse Charge (RCM). Under 12% Forward Charge with ITC, the GTA charges GST directly on the invoice and remits it via GSTR-3B.
Can we consolidate multiple bilties (LRs) into a single monthly invoice?↓
Yes, Bilty allows selecting multiple pending LRs for a corporate party across a billing period and generating one consolidated tax invoice itemizing each LR number, route, and weight.
Does the invoice print a dynamic UPI QR code for party payment?↓
Yes, every invoice includes an RBI-compliant dynamic UPI QR code linked to your bank account or VPA, allowing parties to scan and pay directly via GPay, PhonePe, or BHIM.
