21 April 2025 Hi,

In Feb 2025. I needed additional cash to setoff IGST payment on self assessment basis quarterly return.

But in March 2025. while filing GSTR 3b it is taking full IGST (Jan+Feb+march month) to set off IGST. But in feb 2025 I paid IGST in cash to setoff IGST liability because not enough IGST credit is available. So my question is the cash deposited of IGST payment and IGST credit available i can adjust to set off IGST payment in GSTR3B March 2025 and balance IGST credit to set off CGST payment?

So For Eg: (jan+feb+march) GSTrB:

Total IGST to payable : 1000

IGST credit available: 2000

IGST paid in cash for feb 2025: 400

So in march gstrb return can i adjust it as below.

IGST to be paid: 1000 can be set off in 600 (credit available) +400 (Cash deposited) and reamning 1400 in Cgst and Sgst.
