17 January 2020 Sir, my query was with tenant's perspective. Whether tenant has to pay GST under reverse charge mechanism?

17 January 2020 So? What do you think, we are answering from landlord's perspective or what?
Reverse Charge, if applicable, will be applicable to PAYER. Right? So to say the answer is from Payer's perspective. And in your query payer is tenant. Anything else?
