Hospital paid rent as per agreement. It's the fault of landlord not registered under GST and not issuing tax invoice. Hence landlord is liable to pay GST demand.

But the landlord's CA said it's an indirect tax final burden is on the tenant and if the landlord did not collect GST from the tenant, a landlord can recover GST.

Let the owner of the building get GST registered and issue tax invoice for the agreed amount, then the hospital can make payment of GST to the owner and take credit if it is eligible. The owner will proceed to file the GSTR 1 and 3B, making GST payment to the government.
