E-payment Process with screenshot
- Firstly, ensure that you have filled in all the details.
The cash available as on date and ITC available (ITC of current tax period) are shown in the table.
Then scroll to the right to see the Credit Ledger Balance.
- Provide the credit amount to be used from the respective credit heads to repay the existing liabilities and amount in cash.
Note:
- The system will auto-fill “Tax to be paid through ITC” fields with the amount based on the law relating to credit usage. However, you can edit this ITC utilization but then the cash you have to pay will also change.
- Tax liabilities you have entered in the returns and its credits will be updated in their respective ledgers and seen in the “Tax payable” under the payment section. The updated balance will be displayed under the payment section.
Common situations
Some of the common situations you may come across during the payment of GSTR-3B are:
- If cash balance in the Electronic Cash Ledger is less than the amount required to repay your liabilities.
Then the available cash balance is used from the Electronic Cash Ledger and additional cash will be displayed in the Additional cash required. So, we need to create a challan by clicking on the CREATE CHALLAN button.
Therefore you will be able to view the additional cash required to repay your liability.
- If available cash balance in Electronic cash ledger is above the required cash to settle the liabilities.
- If the available cash balance in the Electronic cash ledger is above the required cash to settle the liabilities, but due to the ITC utilization principle, you cannot balance the liabilities.
You can view the additional cash required for paying the liability when you scroll to the right.
- Click MAKE PAYMENT/POST CREDIT TO LEDGER settle liabilities or to claim credit in case you have no liabilities
- If there is any change in the previous page, Click BACK and rectify your errors. Then select MAKE PAYMENT/POST CREDIT TO LEDGER to settle your liabilities, as you cannot make any changes later to Form GSTR-3B.
