Dear Sir
My partnership firm has rented a godown from landlord (unregistered) in a property where the landlord lives on the first floor and the godown is on ground floor.
Ground floor has commercial electric connection and commercial holding tax is paid to muncipality by landlord. So will it be considered as commercial property?
Also, is RCM applicable on commercial property taken for commercial purpose from unregistered person?
please suggest..
Whether a commercial building taken for lease for business purpose and a part of this ( Top floor of the building) building used for residential purpose. we have made separate Rent agreement for both Shop and Residence and also collect separate invoices for the same. in this scenario, my question is whether RCM is applicable for Residential part, if it is a commercial building. The Building number is same for shop and Residence are of the building. Please give us a clarification.
Dear Sir,I have referred your query and here with I am providing my opinion. If you have separate agreement for residential property for residential purpose. On 17.8.2022,The CBIC has clarified that “renting of residential unit taxable only when it is rented to business entity️.” It further clarified that “no GST when it is rented to private person for personal use; no GST even if proprietor or partner of firm rents residence for personal use.” .But agreement entered by the Company and rent paid from the books of company, under that circumstance liable to pay GST under RCM and liable to claim ITC subject to condition Sec.17(5) of the CGST Act,2017. This is my person opinion.
In case the landlord has his property in Mumbai and is unregistered individual and the tenant registered wit GST Department in Gujarat, then in such case, is the tenant required to take GST registration in the state of Maharashtra for making payment of GST on RCM basis.
In continuation of Example 4, if the registered person recover the amount of rent from Director’s Salary, then is there by any chance possible that the registered person will not pay the GST as it is not bearing the cost of rent. However the agreement is between Registered person and owner of the property.
Is ther any supporting documents regarding this (some circular or judgements)

Hi… I am an independent Design Consultant.
I have rented an apartment in Pune for my place of stay. I provide Design Consultancy Services in Nashik & Pune. My Registered business address is in Nashik.
Having myself as a proprietor/self -employed, I have took GST in my name which is linked to my PAN Card.
My owner is not registered under GST.
Would like to understand will I still be liable to pay GST on rent, as the leave & license agreement clearly have a clause it is a property for residential use only. I don’t carry out any kind of business/service from there.
Please guide.
Thanks

Sir, Thank you to refer my article, with regards to your queries:- (1).f i am having GST REgistration (Proprietorship) and reside in residential property on Rent. (2).But i am also director of a Pvt Ltd. Company ( which is also GST Registered).
