Important points:
- Only the renting of motor vehicle designed for carrying passengers are covered under RCM. Earlier the word motor vehicle was only written there. It covered all types of motor vehicles. But the purpose was to cover only the motor vehicles meant to carry passengers. Important changes made are: (1) Motor vehicle word is replaced with motor vehicle designed to carry passengers
- Renting of Trucks, cranes, JCB machines will not be covered by RCM provisions.
- Renting by a body corporate will not be covered under this entry. So RCM is applicable only on renting of motor vehicle meant to carry passengers by person other than a corporate entity to a corporate entity.
- Renting shall cover the fuel charges also. In case the fuel is not covered in consideration it will not be covered in RCM.
- A person charging tax @12 % in FCM is not covered in RCM.
- A person making supply to other than a corporate entity will be charging in forward charge.

We can understand all these instances of RCM applicability under this head via the following instances.
What will be the applicability in case of Unregistered supplier?
In this case the language used is including “Any person, other than a body corporate who supplies the service to a body corporate and does not issue an invoice charging central tax at the rate of 6 per cent. to the service recipient’
Following two scenarios may happen:
Supplier is URD but corporate: RCM in this case will not be applicable because in this entry applies only on non corporate supplier.
Supplier is URD but non corporate: In this case RCM will be applicable. As I discussed earlier the language of current entry is covering URD also
