This discussion clarifies GST payment obligations for the September 2023 quarter. It addresses whether cash payment is required for July's GST liability, especially with August's input tax credit. The conversation highlights that the 1% mandatory cash payment rule (CGST Act Rule 86B) only applies to businesses with a monthly turnover exceeding 50 lakhs. For those below this threshold, paying late may incur interest, but the 1% cash payment isn't mandatory. The advice confirms that July's tax can be paid in September using input tax credits, and it's not mandatory to pay in cash if sufficient input tax credit is available and turnover is below the threshold.
