According to them, confusions arose with the existence of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) and Forward Charge (FCM) in GST system. “This is a token strike to highlight the legitimate concerns and gravity of the present disruptive conditions. More than 80 lakh trucks are expected to be off the road during the strike,” AIMTC Executive President S.K. Mittal told IANS. Transporters were not able to lift goods from unregistered traders as that would require transporters to pay GST on these traders’ behalf under RCM. The GST system also provides another scheme through which transporters can also avail FCM, where they need to pay 12 per cent GST but claim full input credit.
