This discussion clarifies whether GST is applicable under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) when a registered dealer purchases scrap from a police station auction. The consensus is that RCM is indeed applicable in this scenario, as police departments fall under government control, making the purchase of scrap from them liable for RCM.

Registered Dealer purchasing Scrap/Used vehicles from the following Suppliers, namely: Central Government, State Government, Union territory or a local authority are liable to pay tax on RCM basis. So considering it under state government control, RCM on Scrap purchase from police department would be liable.
