12 February 2020 With effect from 01.01.2019 Any Registered Person receiving security services (Service provided by way of supply of security personnel) from any person other than a body corporate is required to pay GST on reverse charge basis.

For Example : ABC being partnership firm provide security service to XYZ (Service Receiver) then GST liability is on XYZ on Reverse charge basis.

But in the same example if ABC is a body corporate then the case is normal charge & ABC will charge GST on invoice & collect GST amount from XYZ & pay it to Government.

However, Government Department/Establishment/Agency who have taken registration under GST only for TDS purpose and those paying tax under Composition Scheme are not required to pay GST on RCM basis.
