According to sl. No. 8 of Notification No. 13/2017-C.T.

Services supplied by a recovery agent to a banking company or a financial institution or a non-banking financial company: A banking company or a financial institution or a non-banking financial company, located in the taxable territory receiving service from a recovery agent shall pay tax under reverse charge.

In our view, yes GST is payable on Daily Collection under Reverse charge Mechanism.

If RCM is payable then under which clause of the notification?

Dear Querist,

I think that you are not talking about Recovery Agent. The activities of recovery agent and collection agent are entirely different. The nature of collection agent can be likened to intermediary service/ commission agent. Pl. elaborate your query.
