Hiring an unregistered contractor whose turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh does not affect the company’s compliance, provided RCM is correctly applied. The onus to register and comply with GST squarely falls on the contractor once eligible, but recipient-company compliance is safeguarded if all RCM duties are diligently fulfilled.
It is advisable to communicate formally to the contractor regarding the legal requirement of registration if turnover exceeds the threshold. This protects the company from allegations of abetting non-compliance.
