GST on rent query

I have a partnership firm registered under GST type Regular.  I have my office rented in a residential complex (ground floor is my office,  owner has 1st Floor & 2nd floor for residential purpose but my EB connection and all is commercial connection).  

Apart from my office I have 2 godowns to store my goods, which again is a residential complex ground floor is my godown.

As I am registered GST tenant of these properties am I suppose to pay GST for my rent & do RCM for the same?

Thanks & Regards,

Vijay

Quick Summary
A partnership firm registered under GST is seeking clarification on whether they need to pay GST on rent for their office and godowns located in residential complexes. They are unsure if Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies, especially since the properties are used for commercial purposes. The discussion touches upon recent notifications regarding GST on residential property rentals to registered persons.

In my opinion RCM should not apply in both cases as residential house property is being used for commercial purpose. 

 

Thanks for the reply sir.

As per latest Notification, Service by way of renting of residential dwelling to registerd person covered under RCM. 18% GST is to be paid by RCM By a registered person
Gst on rent is not possible for residentiL but for business purposes.
