Quick Summary
The Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) ensures that GST is collected even on services provided by small businesses below the registration threshold. You pay the GST upfront, and then claim this amount back as Input Tax Credit (ITC) in the following month, which gets added to your electronic credit ledger.
RCM pay only cash payment because RCM not adjusted electronic credits ledger. but you can claim itc next month this itc can be added electronic credit ledger.
In RCM list, almost all services are provided by small businessmen those who are not crossed threshold limit for gst registration. Thats why rcm concept was introduced that such services also get taxed.
