GST ITC SET OFF

Hi all, I have a doubt with GST ITC set off
I have zero credit in IGST, and credit in SGST,CGST.
I have payable in all 3 heads.
While paying IGST , can I use equal amounts from CgST and SGST each? Even if there is balance in CGST after set off with CGST liability and the partial amount taken to IGST.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for setting off Goods and Services Tax (GST) Input Tax Credit (ITC). It explains that IGST credit must first be used against IGST liability. Any remaining IGST ITC can then be offset against CGST and SGST liabilities. Crucially, CGST ITC can only be used for CGST liabilities, and SGST ITC is restricted to SGST liabilities; they cannot be offset against each other.

Rule IGST first setoff with IGST if any remain then with CGST or SGST
CGST frist with CGST then if remain then with IGST
SGST first with SGST if remain then IGST
