Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is mandatory for manpower services when the supplier is registered. It's confirmed that for manpower services provided by security personnel, RCM is indeed mandatory for the corporate recipient, and the supplier cannot charge GST on their invoice. Other types of labour services may not fall under RCM, based on specific notifications.

If supplier of Manpower is registered, in that case also it's mandatory to Pay tax under RCM for Manpower service received by corporate taxpayer.
Manpower can't give bill with GST charged to Corporate Assessee.
No, it's mandatory as sec 9(3) notified service on which reverse charge will be applicable...
Supplier should other than body Corporate
Receiptant should be Registered person

I would like to bring in focus Notification no 29/2018 (as attached herewith) that brings RCM on security services.. In such notification the wording used only Man Power Services for Security Personnel ...

To be noted security services includes Cyber security, Security by surveillance, etc.. but as per wording used in above said Notification no 29/2018, it aims to bring only Man Power service provided by only Security Personnel under RCM.. So it can be interpreted that other services of providing labor, etc will not get cover under RCM..

I will appreciate to get corrected, If am wrong.....

I have attached Notification No 29/2018 for best reference purpose...

Yes @ Mr. Ali Ahmed Khan, only Manpower service for security purpose are covered under RCM....
I got it & Thanks for clarification
