Is it okay to pay SGST even if IGST ITC is available

ITC / Input 478 views 5 replies

Hello all,

Is it okay to pay SGST amount in Cash even though I have IGST ITC credit available and utilize the IGST ITC credit for future months ITC adjustments?

So say for Aug 23
ITC available IGST - 100, CGST-10 and SGST-10
Liability - IGST 40, CGST 50 and SGST 50
So overall liability after adjusting ITC is IGST - NIL, CGST-NIL, SGST-20

However, I would like to do the following:
IGST-NIL, CGST-NIL and SGST-40 and keep balance of IGST of Rs.20 as pending in credit ledger for utilizing in next month GST return.

Is this okay?

Yes, You can.
As per your statement igst nil sgst paid 20 rs more and will be available only in sgst.
u cannot carry over igst credit except your overall liability is less than the igst credit.

I did not understand this. Can you please explain.

If I dont want to adjust IGST ITC for August and instead pay SGST and use the balance IGST ITC the next month in Sept, is that an issue?

U cannot carry over igst credit for subsequent month.

No, this transaction cannot be done.

You have to first exhaust IGST ITC than you only can use ITC of CGST/SGST

In present situation, if you want to keep Rs. 20 IGST ITC than you compulsory have to forward ITC of Rs. 10/10 CGST/SGST and pay Rs. 40 SGST in Cash.

For more clarification you can refer attached Circular Circular No. 98/17/2019-GST
