Pre-deposit for filing appeal under GST to be paid through electronic cash ledger


Quick Summary
The Orissa High Court has ruled that pre-deposit payments for GST appeals must be made using the Electronic Cash Ledger. The court clarified that the Electronic Credit Ledger cannot be used for this purpose, as the pre-deposit amount is not considered 'output tax'. This decision means taxpayers must ensure their pre-deposit is paid correctly to avoid issues with their appeals.
