no..non taxable online recipient (is like consumers in simple language) so they won't get taxed under RCM for services of OIDAR Services availed

As I understand RCM means that the recipient is responsible to pay tax to government. An unregistered person has no way to do that.

First of all, a whole hearted thanks for everyone who replied.
Raja P M sir ..
I will try to convey, what I concluded in my mind, Kindly correct me if i misunderstood anything. And sorry for the long text.
I am a CA student.In my books, while studying the reverse charge under IGST Act, the first reverse charge which they gave is as follows:
1) Any service supplied by any person who is located in a non taxable territory to any person other than non taxable online recipient.
👆After reading this, i came to a conclusion that NTOR will never be taxable. Because I already studied in Exemption Chapter that
" Any service provided by a service provider located in a non taxable territory to NTOR is FULLY EXEMPT ^except^ two services,
They are
1) OIDAR Services
2) Transportation of goods from outside India upto custom frontier of India by Vessels by a person located in non taxable territory.
Now, the 2nd Reverse Charge they gave is,
" Services supplied by a person located in non taxable territory by way of transportation of goods by a vessel from a place outside India up to the customs station of clearance in India"
After reading the 2nd reverse charge, I have a doubt. In case, if NTOR is the recipient in the 2nd reverse charge situation,
Will NTOR be liable to pay tax or not ?
Because in 1st reverse charge, they said that "ANY SERVICES PROVIDED TO NTOR, Forward Charge Mechanism will apply"
Is my conclusion (after reading 1st reverse charge) wrong ?
I am confused.
Hope you can help me! Thank you !

in second reverse charge..service of transportation service is not online service ..and hence it is not rendered to non taxable online recipient.(NTOR -is one who receives online service ).so second reverse charge is applble fr recipient who is not at all online service recipient.
