SW Point of View:

While the registered recipient is directed to pay tax under the RCM, if such unregistered suppliers exceed the threshold limit for GST registration, they are required to register and pay GST under the forward charge mechanism (FCM). However, if they fail to obtain registration, the reverse charge mechanism will still apply, and the responsibility to pay the tax will remain with the registered recipient.
