GST on Consultancy services

Sir, I have a doubt
We are paying fixed monthly salary to one engineer who give consultancy services to us
Our company is dealing with Engineering product
We record it as professional services and deduct 10 % TDS
He don't give any Invoice against that Shall we require to pay GST under RCM ?
He is not employee of the company and he visit hardly 2 3 times in a month.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for consultancy services. It explains that for engineering consultancy provided by an individual not on the company's payroll, GST is typically payable under the forward charge mechanism by the service provider, not reverse charge by the recipient. The service provider must charge GST if their annual turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold, and issue a GST invoice accordingly. TDS deduction is also mentioned as a separate compliance requirement.

Incase of engineering service rendered to you . The service provider is liable to charge GST under frwd charge. Since the same is not covered under RCM

Even He needs to charge GST only if his turnover exceeds 10/20 lakh depending on states.

There is no requirements to pay GST under RCM in this case by you.
If you are paying more than 10/20 lakh per annum as the case may be than you have to asked them to Give you invoice with GST.

Otherwise, it's his responsibilities to take registration and pay GST if his receipt/turnover is more than 10/20 lakh.
Thanks for the help sir
FCM is applicable on the said service.
If his turnover (including service provided to you) is more than prescribed registration threshold, then he is mandatorily required to charge GST on FCM basis.
Just a small update. Tds to be deducted at 7.5%

GST is not required to be paid on RCM basis in the scenario mentioned by you. However, the service provider should pay GST is his turnover is more than the prescribed threshold and give a GST tax invoice
