A private ltd. company is paying licensee fee of Rs. 15,000/- p.m. to a HUF for occupying an office room, you can say it as Rent paid for the office room.The HUF is not charging any GST in its bill, i.e., it is an unregistered person under GST.

1) Now, what would be the consequences / liabilities of the payer (company)  under GST provisions?

2) Whether the company has to pay GST @ 18% on RCM basis?

3) What's the threshold limit for applicability of RCM?
