This discussion clarifies the complexities of paying Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on restaurant rent at 18% while charging 5% GST on customer bills. It explains that RCM must be paid via the cash ledger, and since restaurants operating under the 5% scheme cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), any RCM paid will appear in the ITC ledger and needs to be reversed to reflect its correct treatment.

RCM is to be paid via Cash Ledger and as in Restaurant Business you can collect 5% GST but cannot claim ITC, RCM Credits needs to be reversed as you cannot claim ITC as GST Law for restaurant business

Restaurant business have 2 options
1. Charge 5% under Normal Scheme with No ITC 2. Pay 5% under Composition with No ITC
GST Council have given reflief to Composition Dealers, but generally from experience majorly restaurant opt for 1st option as you can collect and pay to the GST Dept .
My reply was based on Restaurant Business under Normal Scheme. rest if your views are based on future outcome then its your call to wait
