after implementation of GST will I have to change the rate or process or something...... Pls clarify....

ITC is available....

Many people are confused because in the rate list, it is written as 5% w/o ITC. But it is for the service provider that he should not have taken the ITC....

For RCM it is definitly 5% RCM with ITC...

If available then why in  GST Rate chart of RCM why is it mentioned that No Input tax credit is allowed. What are the basis that Input tax credit allowed on GTA.

This is not better understanding... This is more confusing...

yes it is available as input
yes it is available as input
The schedules for Rate of GST on services is off course for the Taxable Person who provides those services.So in case of GTA , the rate of 5 % without ITC will be applicable when GTA himself charges the GST as a forward charge.In case of reverse charge , there is no restriction of taking credit of the taxes paid subject to the provisions of Sec 17 of the CGST Act 2017.So technically it seems as if the credit is available. But when we read the language of Sec 9 (3) for taxability under RCM , it says that "all the provisions of this Act shall apply to such recipient as if he is the person liable for paying the tax in relation to the supply of such goods or services or both" Now the question is If all the provisions of the act applies to the recipient of the services /goods then why not this restriction of ITC be on him/her , as the same applies to the service provider?
