RCM Under GST is a system where the tax liability shifts from the supplier to the recipient of services.
The buyer pays the GST directly to the government and can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) if eligible.
Generally, the supplier of goods or services is liable to pay the GST. However, in some cases like imports and other notified supplies , the liability may be cast on the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism.
