Quick Summary

RCM applies on Rs 2,00,000 rent from an unregistered landlord (Rs 36,000 GST). Since output GST is 5% without ITC, RCM ITC isn't available and becomes expense. If landlord is registered, RCM doesn't apply-GST charged forward, but ITC still restricted.

You must pay ₹36,000 GST under RCM on ₹2,00,000 rent because landlord is unregistered. However, since you charge 5% GST without ITC, the RCM paid cannot be claimed as ITC and cannot be adjusted against output tax — it becomes a business expense.
