With respect to documentation to be carried by the transporter of goods, no ruling is given as it does not get covered u/s 97(2) of the CGST Act, 2017. C.

If the supplies/ work is being performed by the assessee from its permanent place of business existing in a different state, then separate registration in the state of performance of works contract shall not be required.
