Sir,
We are paying monthly Retainer Fees to Advocate but they are not charging GST, so Reverse Charge mechanism is applicable or not, please clarify.
Thanks & Regards
Razack.

9 (4) of CGST Act, 2017 is exempted up to 30.6.2018 vide Notification No.8/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.6.2017 as amended.

There are two sections of RCM
Section 9(3) – which requires payment on RCM on advocate fees, transportation charges. etc.
Section 9(4) – which requires payment on RCM on purchases from unregistered suppliers
Section 9(4) has been deferred till 30.06.2018. But u need to pay GST on advocate fees under section 9(3) which has not been deferred and still applicable.
