As per Entry No. 5AA of Notification No. 13/2017-Central Tax(Rate) dated 28-06-2017, Service by way of renting of residential dwelling by ANY PERSON to a registered person is subject to Reverse Charge Mechanism (‘RCM’). This entry was applicable w.e.f. 18th July 2022. The above entry implies that the registered recipient, availing services of renting of residential property, is supposed to discharge GST on RCM basis. In this case RCM is applicable even if the supplier is unregistered or the property is used for commercial purposes. Recently, Entry No. 5AB is added to the Notification for levying RCM on commercial properties. The said entry states that RCM is applicable on Service by way of renting of any property other than residential dwelling by unregistered person to a registered person. This entry is applicable w.e.f. 10th October 2024.

Your reply is very clear, as always, very helpful.
I have some doubts, please help.
1) Is ther any threshold limit for rent amount to fall under RCM.
2) Can register person use that ITC credit of RCM paid on rent.
Thanks in advance
