Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies a common point of confusion regarding GST liability set-off. It explains that you cannot use your Input Tax Credit (ITC) ledger to pay off liabilities that arise specifically in your GSTR-9 annual return. Instead, any voluntary payments for GSTR-9 liabilities must be made through the cash ledger, typically via Form DRC-03, as per relevant notifications.

You can not make payment from ITC for liability arose into GSTR-9.
however you could make voluntary payment through ITC in form DRC-03 before filing of DRC-03
You cannot payoff/Set-off liability arising in annual return from your Credit Ledger. you can only set-off your liability from Cash Ledger by filing DRC 03 (Refer Notification 74/2018 CT)
