07 February 2026 Dear Experts,

We received a demand in GST portal tru DRC 07 and we made the payment through
" Payment Towards Demand " option under " Ledger ". We made cash payment through Create challan and finally OFFSET the demand through the Available cash in the Cash ledger.
After this, we did not get any ARN. But, the demand, which was there earlier has disappeared now.
Is it all or is there any follow up action to be done by us ? Why no ARN has been generated ?
Pls. Advice.

08 February 2026 No ARN is generated because you did not file any form — you only paid and offset demand. Since the liability has disappeared and registers show payment, the compliance is complete. No further action required.
