Quick Summary
If you've received an invoice for legal services from an unregistered advocate and you are registered for GST, you are likely liable to pay GST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). You'll need to issue a self-invoice to record this transaction and pay the GST via your GSTR-3B return using cash. Importantly, you can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the GST paid under RCM, provided the tax has been paid.

Yes you have to discharge GST on Reverse Charge Mechanism ( RCM ) basis for Advocate Services since it is under RCM category vide Notification No. 13/2017 - Central Tax ( Rate ), dated 28th June 2017 read with Section 9(3) of the CGST Act 2017.

You have to raise a SELF INVOICE as per Section 31(3) clause (f) of the CGST Act 2017 and discharge the RCM liability by filing FORM GSTR-3B in "CASH". Also you will be able to claim ITC on the basis of Self Invoice raised as per Rule 36(1) clause (b) of the CGST Rules 2017, subject to payment of tax.

Yes, Required to Pay GST under RCM as for legal services RCM is applicable.
You can take ITC of GST paid under RCM in your GSTR 3B return.
For record, you are required to prepare "self invoice", on basis of that you can claim ITC of GST RCM paid as mentioned above..
Thanks Seniors
Your most Welcome...
