Here’s a clear explanation on Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) when a registered person purchases goods from an unregistered person, including invoice format:
1. Tax Liability under RCM on Goods Purchased from Unregistered Supplier
When a registered person purchases goods from an unregistered person, the recipient (registered person) is liable to pay GST under Reverse Charge.
If the supply is inter-state, then IGST is payable by the recipient.
If the supply is intra-state, then CGST + SGST (or UTGST) is payable by the recipient.
Exception: For intra-state supply, exemption of ₹5,000 per day is allowed—if the value of goods purchased from an unregistered supplier is less than ₹5,000 on a single day, no reverse charge applies.
2. Invoice Format by Unregistered Supplier
An unregistered supplier is not required to issue a tax invoice, but must provide a bill of supply or any document evidencing the sale.
Since unregistered suppliers cannot charge GST, the invoice/bill will not have GST details.
The invoice should clearly mention:
Name, address of supplier (unregistered)
Name, address of recipient (registered)
Description, quantity, value of goods
A note indicating that tax is payable by recipient under Reverse Charge Mechanism (optional but recommended)
3. Invoice Format by Registered Recipient (on payment of RCM tax)
The registered recipient must issue a payment voucher or self-invoice showing the tax liability under RCM.
This invoice should include:
Supplier details (unregistered person’s name & address)
Recipient details
Description of goods purchased
Taxable value
Tax rate & amount payable under RCM (IGST or CGST+SGST)
Mention “Tax payable under Reverse Charge”
4. Payment of Tax and Compliance
Registered recipient must pay GST under RCM and declare in GST returns.
Tax paid under RCM can be claimed as Input Tax Credit (ITC) subject to regular ITC rules.
Sample note on invoice/bill from unregistered supplier:
"Supply made to a registered person and tax payable by recipient under Reverse Charge Mechanism as per GST provisions."
