VII. Three Ledgers in GST.(Ledgers maintained by the GST department)

A. Electronic Cash Ledger

It is an account of the taxpayer maintained by GST system reflecting the cash deposits in recognized Banks and payments of taxes and other dues made by the taxpayer. The Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) are also accounted for in the Electronic Cash Ledger as cash deposits of the taxpayer.

 A registered taxpayer can make cash deposits in the recognized Banks through the prescribed modes to the Electronic Cash Ledger using any of the Online or Offline modes permitted by the GST Portal. The Cash deposits can be used for making payment(s) like tax liability, interest, penalties, fee, and others.

The Electronic Cash Ledger has four Major Heads IGST, CGST, SGST/UTGST, and CESS. Each of these Major Heads have the five following Minor Heads:

1. Tax

2. Interest

3. Penalty

4. Fee

5. Others

Electronic Cash Ledger is maintained on the GST Portal available at https://www.gst.gov.in/

Electronic Cash Ledger can only be viewed by the taxpayers themselves, or their authorized signatories and GST Practitioner. It can also be viewed by their Jurisdictional Officials (JO).

The amount available in the Electronic Cash Ledger can be utilised for payment of any liability for the respective major and minor heads. For example, liability for the tax under SGST/UTGST can be settled only from the available amount of cash under SGST/UTGST Major head.

For example, an amount of INR 1000 is available under minor head ‘tax’ of major head ‘SGST/UTGST’ and the taxpayer has a liability of INR 200 for minor head ‘interest’ under the same major head ‘SGST/UTGST’. Since, there is no amount available under minor head ‘interest’ under major head “SGST/UTGST”, therefore, interest payment cannot be made from the amount available under ‘tax’ of the same major head.
