Payments
Every registered taxpayer under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Law is liable to pay GST on supply of goods and services.
A taxpayer can make Online, NEFT/ RTGS or Over The Counter (OTC) payments for GST. Once the payments are made by the taxpayer, the receipts are credited to the Electronic Cash Ledger. The balance in the Electronic Cash Ledger can be utilized by the taxpayer to make payments for IGST, CGST, SGST and Cess liabilities.
In this presentation, you will learn to make GST payments as a taxpayer
