Currently, there is no requirement to pay GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on rent paid to unregistered individuals (URD). While RCM was initially considered for certain URD expenses at the start of GST implementation, the government has not yet notified specific services or persons for whom it would be applicable in this context. Therefore, no RCM needs to be paid on rent to URD at present.
