RCM in case of NEC Charges


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A manufacturing company received a bill for NEC charges from an advocate for bank limit enhancement services. The query concerns whether these charges are subject to the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under GST. The consensus is that RCM is applicable to advocate fees, with GST payable at 18%. This expense should be treated as a legal expense in the company's books, and the input tax credit (ITC) can be claimed.
