You are liable to pay GST on rental income if you cross threshold exemption. Renting is not under RCM.

Yes, you have to charge GST on rental income. GST registration is common for goods and services. It is supply of services or goods or both. If your aggregate turnover in all your activities exceeds ₹ 20 lakhs per year you have to charge GST and pay to the credit of the respective Government.

You have mentioned that your turnover is less than the threshold limit. Hence you are not liable to register under GST. Bank has to pay GST under reverse charge.
