Quick Summary
If you're a GST-registered tenant paying GST on commercial rent to a GST-registered landlord in the same state, you can generally claim the GST paid as input tax. This is permissible as long as you use the rented commercial property for your taxable business supplies. The landlord will provide a tax invoice including GST, which is necessary for claiming the input tax credit.

Both registered, same State: forward charge:
• If the landlord is GST-registered, they charge 18% (CGST + SGST) on commercial rent under forward charge. RCM (Entry 5AB) applies only when the landlord is unregistered.
• You (registered tenant) claim ITC if the premises are used for business.
• If the landlord's turnover is above the threshold but they're unregistered, RCM applies to you. Check their GSTIN validity.
