18 June 2026 Unfortunately, SGST ITC cannot be adjusted against CGST liability, and there is presently no provision to transfer SGST balance to CGST ledger. The excess SGST credit will have to be utilized against future SGST or IGST liabilities. If the imbalance is substantial, a detailed review of GST returns and transaction patterns should be undertaken to optimize future ITC utilization.
