Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the confusion surrounding GST interest under Section 50. While the Act technically states interest is on gross liability, the 39th GST Council meeting in March 2020 clarified it should be on net tax liability. However, the proviso to Section 50(1) enabling this is not yet notified. High Court judgments suggest it should be on gross liability, but for practical purposes, especially with smaller amounts, calculating on net liability is often considered.

Net liabity
Interest is levied on "NET TAX LIABILITY". The same was also clarified in the 39th GST Council Meeting held on 14th March 2020.
As per Act , shall be on Gross liability.
The proviso being inserted under Section 50(1) is not Notified yet.

Yes in light of few high court judgements it should be levy on Gross liability.


Note : In my view if the Interest amount is not much then it's better to compute on Gross else can be compute on Net.
