This discussion addresses whether GST Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is applicable when paying a Rs 5,000 consultancy fee to an unregistered person. The general consensus is that RCM is only required if the consultant is an advocate. If the service provider is not an advocate, it's advised to obtain a bill confirming this. Notification No. 13/2017 (amended) is recommended for future reference regarding this matter.

If you have paid to an advocate then you will have to pay rcm otherwise no need to pay...If he is not advocate just take a bill from the service provider proving that he is not advocate.
