Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies who pays GST on imported services when they are for personal consumption rather than business purposes. Generally, the recipient pays GST under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), but exceptions exist. For OIDAR services imported by a consumer, RCM may not apply. However, for other imported services used personally, the individual might need to register for GST and pay tax under RCM.

Recipient of services will pay the tax under RCM , Notification 10/2017 .

Depends upon nature of service and registration under GST of end user.

If the import of OIDAR services has been made by the consumer not in the course of the business then the RCM will not be applicable.

In case of import of services other than OIDAR services by the customer even not in the course of the business, then the person is required to obtain GST registration & pay GST under RCM on those services.
