05 November 2017 Dear Colleagues,

If I have shown Rs.10,000/- as my RCM liability in form 3B but as per GSTR-2 my actual liability for RCM is Rs. 12000/-, Whether I will have to pay Interest of Rs.-2000/-. In this case I have sufficient balance in my cash ledger. I need not to remit a separate challan for Rs.-2000/- because i already have that much balance in my cash ledger. My query is whether I will have to pay interest on Rs.2000/-

06 November 2017 Dear Sir, Thank for your reply. I will explain my query with the following example-

I made a payment of Rs- 50,000/- as GST for the month of July-17
As per 3B amy output tax laibilty is Rs,-25000/- and RCM laibilty is Rs,-15000/-, the same is debited from my cash ledger and there is balance of Rs.-10,000/- in my cash ledger, in two times.

While filing GSTR-2 , I came to know that my Actual RCM liability is Rs,-18000/- in place of Rs-15000/-. In this case for addition Rs-3000/-, whether interest will be levied on me?
