Payment of tax as CGST and SGST instead of IGST, the correct tax has to be paid again. No need to pay any interest. In case of any additional liability, then interest @ 18% has to be paid on the diffential tax liability.
eg: IGST payable is 500, actual amount paid is 200 (CGST+SGST), balance of Rs. 300 has to be paid as IGST along with interest. Rs.200 can be paid as IGST without interest, since the tax was already paid CGST+SGST.
You can adjust CGST+SGST already paid in subsequent months or claim refund of the same.
Excess availment of credit, to be reversed in subsequent month along with the interest at the rate of 24%.
