Detailed Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer: Option **A** **Explanation:** To determine the tax payable under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), let us evaluate the inward services received by Sandeep:
1. **Hiring of a bus from Ravi:** - Hired a bus from Ravi (registered in Maharashtra) for ₹ 50,000. - Under Section 9(3) of the CGST Act, 2017, RCM on renting of passenger motor vehicles applies only when the supplier is a non-body corporate and the recipient is a body corporate. - Since Sandeep is an individual (not a body corporate), RCM provisions are not applicable here. Tax is payable under forward charge by the supplier, Ravi.
2. **Security services from Protect You Security Limited:** - Security services were received for ₹ 35,000. - Under Section 9(3) of the CGST Act, 2017, RCM on security services (supply of security personnel) is applicable only when the supplier is any person other than a body corporate and the recipient is a registered person. - Since the supplier is "Protect You Security Limited" (a body corporate), RCM is not applicable. The tax is payable under forward charge by the supplier.
3. **Conclusion:** As none of the inward services fall under RCM for Sandeep, the amount on which he is required to pay tax under RCM is ₹ 0. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
