The key difference between Section 9(3) and Section 9(4) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017

In the context of GST, Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) is indeed a key concept. It shifts the liability to pay tax from the supplier to the recipient of goods or services, under specific conditions.

Here is the differentiation between the sections 9(3) & 9(4):

Liability for Payment of Tax The recipient is liable to pay GST under reverse charge The recipient is liable to pay GST under reverse charge
Goods/Services Involved Applies to notified categories of supplies Applies to specified categories of unregistered suppliers
