Since you are registered, inward supply from an unregistered dealer will be liable to reverse charge.

Here’s a clear breakdown for your GST RCM (Reverse Charge Mechanism) query:
### 1. **Purchase from Unregistered Supplier (Inward Supply)**
* Since you are **GST registered**, if you purchase goods or services from an **unregistered supplier from another state**, **you must pay GST under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)**.
* You will have to calculate and pay the applicable GST (CGST+SGST or IGST) on such inward supplies.
### 2. **Input Tax Credit (ITC) on RCM**
* If your **outward supplies are fully exempt**, **you cannot claim Input Tax Credit** on GST paid under RCM.
* Because ITC is only available for taxable supplies, and exempt sales block ITC.
### 3. **Expenses like Hamali Charges, Rent, Transport Charges**
* If these are considered **services from unregistered suppliers**, GST under RCM is applicable if the services fall under notified categories (like goods transport services by road, renting of goods, etc.).
* For transport charges on inward supplies, GST is payable under RCM at **5% (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST) or 12% IGST**, depending on whether it is intra or interstate.
* However, since your **sales are exempt**, you **cannot claim ITC** on GST paid on these expenses under RCM.
### Summary:
| Scenario | RCM Applicable? | Can Claim ITC? |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| Purchase from unregistered dealer (goods) | Yes | No, if outward sales exempt |
| Hamali/transport charges (unregistered) | Yes, if notified service | No, if outward sales exempt |
| Rent (if from unregistered service provider) | Yes, if notified service | No, if outward sales exempt |
---
**Note:** It is important to check if your rent/hamali/transport services are specifically notified under RCM rules. Also, consult a GST practitioner for specifics based on your exact business setup.
If you want, I can help you with the exact GST rates or notify categories under RCM. Would you like that?
