Yes. It is taxable under reverse charge. You can take credit to the extent used for making taxable outward supplies

Dear Suraj

In addition to my reply:
As per S.no. 45 under Notification 12/2017 CT Rate :
Advocate services provided to Unregistered person or to Business entity whose aggregate turnover is below 20 lacs is exempted. So in where the recipient is Unregistered its cover under Exempted Supply ', Hence NO RCM.
