03 May 2019 Your Contractors ( deductees ) need to accept thru their portal . Only after that you will be in position to generate TDS certificate

You need to pay SGST and claim refund for Cess ( wrongly paid)

27 July 2025 Got it! The issue is that **education cess is not applicable on GST TDS payments**, so if SGST was mistakenly paid in place of education cess, here’s how you can handle it:

---

### Key Points:

* **Education Cess / Secondary & Higher Education Cess (SHEC)** are not applicable on GST or GST TDS payments. They apply on Income Tax, but not GST.

* On GST portal, you only pay CGST, SGST, or IGST on TDS, no cess is involved.

---

### What to do if SGST was credited under Education Cess head by mistake?

1. **Correction through Manual Request:**
Since the GST portal currently does not allow self-correction of wrong ledger allocation, you need to:

* Raise a **grievance or ticket** on the GST portal explaining the mistake with challan details.
* Alternatively, approach your jurisdictional **GST officer** with documents (challan, payment details).

2. **Refund Process:**

* If the amount is incorrectly credited to Education Cess ledger (which shouldn’t exist in GST ledger), you may request a refund of excess payment.
* After the refund is processed, you can pay the correct amount under SGST ledger.

3. **Reconcile and Pay Correctly:**
Once refund is processed, pay the required SGST TDS amount in correct ledger head.

### Summary

| Issue | Action |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| SGST paid under Education Cess ledger | File grievance with GST portal or contact GST officer |
| Refund of wrong payment | Apply for refund after grievance is accepted |
| Correct payment of SGST | Pay after refund, under correct ledger head |

---

### Regarding TDS GST Certificates:

* The certificates get generated only after the deductee **accepts the TDS entry on their GST portal**.
* If certificates are missing for some contractors, advise them to log in and accept the TDS credited.
* Only then you can generate/download the TDS GST certificates for those deductees.
