A business owner needs to file a NIL GSTR 1 return for May 2025 as they had no sales. However, they have incurred shop rent and need to pay Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) tax on it. The challenge is how to report the RCM invoice number in Table 13 of GSTR 1 when the portal doesn't accept bill numbers without turnover details, and selecting 'NIL Return' prevents RCM reporting. Experts advise filing the return as usual, not as a NIL return, and mentioning the RCM invoice.
My friend has no sales in the month of May 25. He has to file NIL return for GSTR 1. But, he is paying Rent for his shop and has to pay RCM on it. How to show RCM invoice No. in Table 13 for this month, because, the portal is not accepting the Bill No. details alone, entered in Table 13. If he select NIL Return option in GSTR1, he has to skip the RCM invoice number details in table 13. Previously, he used to show the Rent amount in 3B return and pay the applicable RCM tax.

Thanks Sir, But where to mention the Invoice value ( which table ). because Table 7 has no provision to mention RCM. Portal is not accepting the Bill No. stats. alone, without mentioning any Turnover. Pls. advice.
