रिवर्स चार्ज मैकेनिज्म (RCM) गलत आवेदन और देरी
Definition
When event management companies use unregistered suppliers (GSTIN not available or supplier below ₹40 lakh threshold), they must apply Reverse Charge Mechanism (pay GST on their own via GSTR-3B). Manual tracking of supplier registration status, RCM eligibility determination, and timely GSTR-3B filing creates errors. Missed RCM applications result in: (1) Penalties; (2) Interest @18% p.a. on unpaid RCM GST; (3) ITC blocking if RCM not filed timely.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated: ₹25,000–₹2,50,000 annually. Typical scenario: 20–30 unregistered vendors/year × ₹10,000–₹50,000 per vendor = ₹2–₹15 lakh annual RCM liability. Penalties for non-filing: ₹5,000–₹50,000+ per violation; interest: 18% p.a. on dues.
- Frequency: Quarterly/monthly (RCM filing in GSTR-3B); ongoing vendor onboarding risk.
- Root Cause: Manual supplier registration verification; lack of pre-invoice RCM eligibility check; no system-level RCM tracking; delayed GSTR-3B RCM line-item filing.
