Regarding your question on **C form liability and TRAN-1 filing under GST**:
---
### Summary:
* **You do NOT have to pay the C form liability before filing TRAN-1 on the GST portal.** * The liability (tax payable for interstate sales without C forms) will be assessed and demanded during the **VAT assessment process by the state VAT department**. * TRAN-1 is only for carrying forward **input tax credit**, not for discharging any tax liability like C form liability. * So, you file TRAN-1 first to claim credit, and any pending C form liability is to be paid later during VAT assessment.

### Supporting Reference:
1. **CBIC GST FAQ on Transitional Credit (TRAN-1)** mentions that filing TRAN-1 is for carrying forward eligible credits. 2. **C Form liability is a separate matter under the VAT law**. It is not linked with the filing of TRAN-1 and is payable as per VAT assessment rules. 3. Many professional tax forums and ICAI discussions confirm that **payment of C form liability is done during VAT assessment and not at TRAN-1 filing.**
