As per Notification 10/2017 IGST (R) , Yes RCM is applicable .

pay IGST @ 5 % on 10 % of the CIF value of goods being imported,
whether same rule not applicable in case of import on FOB basis

NO.....IN CASE OF FOB:the Applicant (importer) is liable to bear the cost of
transportation of goods from the respective country upto Indian ports. Hence, for the transportation of the
goods, the Applicant (importer) avails the services of a shipping entity for bringing the said goods to India in a
vessel. In case the said shipping company is located outside India, then the Applicant importer pays the GST
applicable on the supply of services of transportation of goods in a vessel on reverse charge basis in terms
of Section 5(3) of the IGST Act.

HENCE IN CASE OF FOB THE IMPORTER KNOW THE VALUE OF TRANSPORTATION BILL PAID TO SHIPPING COMPANY AS HE PAYS THE SAME .

SO IN FOB THE RCM HAS TO BE DONE THE FREIGHT PAID

Thanks all for your reply
Whether the same rule of 10% applies in case of CIF even if freight charges are shown separately?

Can You send me the Notification Copy for RCM Applicable on Import Material on CIF Basis.
