RCM accounting treatment

Why is RCM treated as Current Assets in the books instead of Booking it as expense or showing it as liability?
RCM is not an expense but liability which is to be paid by us.
What is the rationale for the same?

tax payable under RCM is your current liabilities and. if you can avail ITC after payment under RCM then same amount will be go to your ITC leadger which is generally under current assets

Agree With Gupta Ma'am

Agreed. I wasn't clear in my question. Why do we pass entry for RCM as
Tax on RCM (Current Asset) Dr
To CGST payable
To SGST Payable

Because RCM liability First Required to Pay in Cash 

Then Avail credit

Okay, understood. Thank you so much
