  1. Up to 50 km across a State border, from the consignor's place to the transporter's place for onward transport

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Up to 50 km within the State, from the consignor's place to the transporter's place for onward transport

The third proviso to rule 138(3) of the CGST Rules allows Part B to be left blank where goods are moved up to 50 km within the same State or Union territory from the consignor's place of business to the transporter's place of business for further transportation. The relaxation does not cover movement across a State border or direct delivery to the consignee.
