### 2. **Utilization of ITC on RCM**
The ITC on GST paid under RCM can be utilized in the following manner:
- **For Payment of Output Tax:** ITC on RCM can be used to pay the GST liability on your outward supplies (i.e., output tax) under normal provisions.
- **For Payment of GST under RCM:** It can also be used to pay the GST liability that arises under reverse charge for other procurements.
### 3. **Relevant Sections and Rules**

### 4. **Utilization Timeline**
- **Credit Utilization:** ITC on RCM can be utilized as per the usual GST credit utilization sequence. The ITC can be used for payment of output tax liability, and it can be carried forward to the next period if not utilized in the current period.
- **Adjustment and Reversal:** If you claim ITC under RCM and later find that the supplier has not paid the tax to the government, you might have to reverse the ITC in the period when this is discovered. Rule 37 provides for the reversal of ITC in such cases.
### 5. **Additional Considerations**
- **ITC Blockage:** Ensure that the ITC on RCM is utilized as per the rules. ITC on certain items or under specific conditions may be blocked or restricted.
