Quick Summary
When filing a GST DRC-03 form under Section 73, a key question arises regarding payment methods. While payments for tax dues can generally be made using either the electronic credit ledger or the electronic cash ledger, specific rules apply to interest and penalties. These must be paid exclusively through the cash ledger, as input tax credit (ITC) cannot be utilised for such charges. The system typically prevents ITC utilisation for these items, enforcing cash payments.

Only cash ledger
According to me, in filing DRC 03, All the payments need to be made either from input tax credit available in electronic credit ledger or cash balance available in the electronic cash ledger. But, in case of interest and penalties ITC utilisation is not available. It has to be compulsorily paid in cash.
And I think if ITC utilisation not allowed, than system will also not allowed you.
