Reverse charge and imports, self-assessed
LekhaPro handles reverse-charge (RCM) and import purchases with self-assessment: it raises the liability in GSTR-3B 3.1(d) and the matching ITC in 4(A)(3) — intra/inter split, net ≈ zero — without touching your bill totals or payables.
RCM is where a lot of returns go wrong; here the liability and the offsetting credit are booked together, automatically.
Self-assessment done right
Liability in 3.1(d) and matching ITC in 4(A)(3), so the net effect is ≈ zero where eligible.
Intra/inter aware
The split is computed correctly for the supply, with rate enabled for self-assessment.
Books untouched
Bill totals and payables are unchanged — only the GST self-assessment is added.

Frequently asked
Does RCM change what I pay the vendor?
No — the bill total and payable are unchanged; only the GST self-assessment (liability + matching ITC) is recorded.
Does it show in GSTR-3B?
Yes — reverse-charge/import liability lands in 3.1(d) with the matching ITC in 4(A)(3).
What exactly is included in Advanced · RCM?
RCM & import supply types, liability in 3.1(d), matching ITC in 4(A)(3), intra/inter split, net ≈ 0 where eligible and bill totals untouched. Every item on that list is a working screen you can open in the trial rather than a capability described in the abstract.
How is advanced · rcm handled differently here?
It rests on self-assessment done right, intra/inter aware and books untouched. The distinction that matters is that these are structural rather than cosmetic — the behaviour is built into how records are posted, not layered on as a report you have to remember to run.
Does Advanced · RCM work offline?
On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. RCM & import supply types and liability in 3.1(d) run against a local database on your own machine, so the screens behave the same with the network unplugged as with it connected. AI and billing are the only two things that reach out. On the Cloud edition advanced · rcm runs in the browser and needs a connection.
Where does Advanced · RCM get its data from?
From your own posted books, not a separate register you maintain twice. self-assessment done right is built from the invoices, masters and rates already entered, so there is nothing to re-key before filing and nothing that can quietly disagree with the ledger it was drawn from.
Can I try Advanced · RCM before committing?
Yes — 14 days, no card. Test advanced · rcm against your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data: the questions worth answering here are about your business's edge cases, and a demo dataset is built not to have any.
Is anything in Advanced · RCM generated by AI?
None of the figures. Everything self-assessment done right produces is computed by tested engines and would be identical with the model switched off — what AI contributes is the sentence around a number and the routing that brings the right one to your attention. Nothing it writes posts to your books without your approval.
Can I get my advanced · rcm data out again?
Yes. On the Desktop edition everything Advanced · RCM records sits in a local database on a disk you choose, with scheduled encrypted backups you control — stopping payment leaves you holding a readable file. On the Cloud edition your data is isolated to your business by row-level security and exportable from the reports it feeds.
Can I bring existing advanced · rcm data across?
Masters and opening balances come across; transaction history does not. There is no automated Tally import yet — it is on the roadmap, and we would rather say so than oversell it. You start clean on a date you choose and keep the old system as a read-only archive for the years before it.
