i.e IF I HAVE PAYABLE OF IGST Rs. 2000
& HAVE BALANCE IN CREDIT LEDGER IS CGST 2000 & SGST 2000
Q. CAN I SET OF EQUALLY 1000 FROM CGST & 1000 FROM SGST LEDGER OR WHOLE 2000 FROM SGST LEDGER
Sir My GST detail of NOV-19 given below
IGST INPUT 520100
CGST INPUT 125000
SGST INPUT 125000
IGST OUTPUT 150800
CGST OUTPUT 255100
SGST OUTPUT 255100
During filing of GSTR-3B of Nov-19 and offset liabilities,GST Portal Shows us SGST Payable 15900 and bal CGST INPUT 125000
My question is, can we utilized ITC INPUT in offset liability of SGST OUTPUT before offset liability of CGST?

once the assesse has earned the credit rightfully, it should be left to assesse to utilize in the manner beneficial to trade / business. Govt is tinkering GST too much to the disadvantage of trade. This rule will severely impact working capital of business. GST has created enough disturbance & further adding more each day.
In the new amendment every month I keep accumulating my CGST ITC because my IGST ITC is always on the higher side since my IGST sales are less. Does that mean, I need to increase my IGST sales or CGST sales?
Indirectly GST department is promoting IGST & CGST sales to increase…
IN LAST THIRD CHART OF ABOVE I.E. RULLES OF SET OFF FROM FRB-2019, IN THAT EXAMPLE YOU TYPE IN THIRD LINE “ITC” INSTEAD OF “BALANCE OF LIABILITY” AND ALSO SHOWS THE BALANCE OF CGST(ITC) AVAILABLE AFTER COMPLETE SETOFF RS.-1000/- PLEASE CORRECT AND THEN UPLOAD
THERE ARE CHANCES THAT IN ONE HAND WE HAVE TO PAY SGST AND ONTHE OTHER HAND WE ARE HAVING INPUT CREDIT IN
CGST
IN CASE
IGST INPUT 3000
CGST INPUT 1500
SGST INPUT 1500
IGST OUTPUT 2000
CGST OUTPUT 2000
SGST OUTPUT 2000
IN THIS CASE IF CGST INPUT AVAILABLE RS 500
AND ON THE OTHER HAND WE ARE LIABLE FOR SGST PAYABLE RS 500
Example for both the months should be there
I Need ITC Set-off when i have no Balance in IGST the what i can do for Set-off as per new Rules in GST Set-off
