12 August 2025 Sure! When you receive a service under **Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)** as a registered GST taxpayer, you are required to:

* **Record the expense/service received**
* **Pay GST on reverse charge basis** (i.e., you are the recipient and also the person liable to pay GST)
* **Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC)** on the GST paid (if eligible)

---

### Sample journal entries in Tally for inward supply under RCM (e.g., Security services):

---

#### 1. **On receipt of service invoice without GST (service provider not charging GST):**

| Particulars | Debit (₹) | Credit (₹) |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------ | ---------- |
| Security Expense (or relevant expense) | XXXX | |
| GST Input (CGST) | GST Amount/2 | |
| GST Input (SGST) | GST Amount/2 | |
| To Security Service Provider (or Supplier) | | XXXX |

*(Assuming GST is 18%, split equally between CGST and SGST)*

---

#### 2. **On payment of GST under RCM (liability created):**

| Particulars | Debit (₹) | Credit (₹) |
| ------------------------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| GST Input (CGST) | | GST Amount/2 |
| GST Input (SGST) | | GST Amount/2 |
| To GST Payable (RCM CGST) | GST Amount/2 | |
| To GST Payable (RCM SGST) | GST Amount/2 | |

*This entry records GST liability on reverse charge, which you pay to government.*

---

#### 3. **When you pay GST to government:**

| Particulars | Debit (₹) | Credit (₹) |
| ---------------------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| GST Payable (RCM CGST) | GST Amount/2 | |
| GST Payable (RCM SGST) | GST Amount/2 | |
| To Bank / Cash | | GST Amount |

---

### Important notes:

* **You must pay the GST liability on RCM on or before the due date.**
* **Input tax credit can be claimed on the GST paid under RCM, subject to eligibility and conditions.**
* Tally GST ledgers for RCM must be properly created to track these transactions.

If you want, I can prepare a step-by-step Tally voucher entry guide or template for this. Would that help?
