How does the GST Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) affect a Mutual Fund Distributor?

For individual MFDs earning commissions, the GST burden falls under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). This means the Asset Management Company (AMC) is responsible for calculating, deducting, and depositing the 18% GST on your behalf directly to the government. You receive your trail commission net of this GST. However, if you incorporate your distribution business as a Private Limited Company or LLP, you exit the RCM umbrella. You must then generate invoices with Forward Charge GST to the AMCs, collect the GST, and remit it to the government yourself.
