Query regarding registration

Registration 211 views 5 replies
A person is exclusively engaged in supply of exempt goods. So, as per section 23 of CGST Act 2017 he is not required to register.

But as per section 24 if any person receives goods/services liable under RCM the recipient is required to take registration.

However section 24 doesn't override section 23.


Please clarify whether the person is liable to register. If yes, on what grounds.

RCM full form?
Reverse charge mechanism
A person is liable to register if he is required to pay tax under RCM.
Sec 23 says only exempted Goods and services and does not talk about RCM. And RCM itself means that goods are taxable. So if a person is liable to pay tax under RCM so he have to get registered.
Dear Palak
I agree RCM itself means the supply is taxable. But that supply is taxable for the supplier not for the recipient. In the present case the person is providing exclusively exempt supplies and receiving the supply which are taxable under RCM.
In RCM the recipient is required to pay tax. So the receiver of Goods (i.e. Receipent) under RCM have to register himself.
