GST on Blood Sample Courier Services to Korea: User Liable Under Reverse Charge Mechanism for 'Intermediary' Services A user inquired about the applicability of GST on collecting blood samples in India and sending them to a lab in Korea, acting as a courier between the two labs. The main concern was whether GST should be paid under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) in this transaction.
