The Law allows utilization of credit of one component of tax against the other in different situations with the exception of utilization of CGST for SGST and vice versa, the Government has taken this bold step and so needs to do a lot of background accounting to keep the respective accounts of CGST/SGST/IGST straight  and compute the respective balances of these accounts after making the respective transfers of funds from one account to the other depending on the computation of taxes paid in a given account and utilization of these taxes as credit for making tax payment in the other account.

The order of utilization of Input  Tax Credits shall be

1.The ITC on account of IGST is  allowed to be utilized towards payment of IGST, CGST and SGST.
2.The ITC on account of CGST is allowed  to be allowed for payment of CGST and thereafter for payment of IGST.
3.The ITC on account of SGST is allowed  to be allowed for payment of SGST and thereafter for payment of IGST.
