Supply from an Unregistered dealer to a Registered dealer If a vendor who is not registered under GST, supplies goods to a person who is  registered under GST , then Reverse Charge would apply. This means that the GST will have to be paid directly by the receiver to the Government instead of the supplier. The registered dealer who has to pay GST under reverse charge has to do self-invoicing for the purchases made. For Inter-state purchases, the buyer has to pay IGST. For Intra-state purchased CGST and SGST has to be paid under RCM by the purchaser. B. Services through an e-commerce operator If an e-commerce operator supplies services then reverse charge will apply to the e-commerce operator. He will be liable to pay GST.
