Yes prima facie it appears to be import of services so RCM will be applicable

I have a difference of opinion in this particular case. In case of intermediary services, Place of Supply is always place of supplier. So in this case, supplier is out of India and thus POS is also out of India. Since both LoS and PoS is outside India, there is no Import of Services, hence no RCM. Same position existed under service tax regime.

My above answer is based on section 13(8)(b) of IGST Act, 2017
