Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the common issue of mistakenly paying IGST when CGST and SGST were due. Participants clarify that such errors can typically be rectified through the GST portal's PMT-09 form for tax transfer. While some suggest amending GSTR-1, the consensus leans towards using the transfer mechanism rather than amending invoices, especially if the tax was paid into the wrong head but correctly declared on the invoice.

No issue...
you will get setoff while filing return..
I paid tax to central govt (Igst) which it need to go to state and central..how there will be set off?
It will automatically set off in Port

File GST PMT 09 to transfer the tax from one head to other.

Some people are saying to amend is that a right way to do so?

If u paid tax in wrong head, then transfer,

if u mentioned wrong tax in GSTR1, then amend it.

As I have to pay in Cgst&Sgst but I have paid tax in Igst account..and amending the invoice in the next month and showing it under Cgst & Sgst is a valid form to do .. can u explain this sir?
No... do not ammend gstr1...
But I get suggestions like amend the invoice..is there any problem if I amend the invoice becz of posting in wrong account?
