Based on the notification, RCM (Reverse Charge Mechanism) is applicable for rent on non-residential properties, effective 10/10/2024. Since you paid warehouse rent on 09/10/2024, for the month of October 2024, you are not liable to pay RCM for this specific payment. Here's why: - The RCM notification is effective from 10/10/2024. - Your payment was made on 09/10/2024, which is before the effective date. - The rent is for the month of October 2024, but the payment was made in September, so it falls under the old rules. However, keep in mind that from November 2024 onwards, RCM will be applicable for rent on non-residential properties, including warehouse rent. Ensure you factor this in for future payments. Please consult a tax professional or expert to confirm this interpretation and ensure compliance with GST regulations.

But sir rent is paid specific for October 2024 to landlord, on 09/10/24.

Notification is effective fron 10/10/2024

My understanding is though rent paid on 09/10/24
but rent is pertaining to Oct. 24, & we are consuming service whole October 24 month.

If rent period is up to 09/10/24, then it is ok, rcm is not applicable.

In this scenario what is the legal angle of this situation.
