This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on GST paid under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for rent, specifically at the 5% slab rate. For regular dealers, ITC is claimable if the output supply is eligible for ITC. Composition dealers generally cannot claim ITC, and their GST obligations on rent under RCM have also changed with recent amendments.

Now with the amendment in act, composition dealers are not required to pay GST on rent under RCM. Regular dealers are allowed for ITC claim provided the output supply is eligible for ITC claim. If output supply's GST rates are not eligible for ITC claim, then you cannot claim ITC for the GST paid under RCM.
