Under GST, you can pay your tax liability through Net banking/Debit card or utilization of ITC or over the counter exchange (OTC). All the payments which are made through Net banking/Debit card or OTC are reflected in the electronic cash ledger (Form GST PMT-05) of the registered person. A challan will also be generated on the common portal for deposit/payment of tax under GST in the form GST PMT-06. We will discuss the format of both electronic cash ledgers (Form GST PMT-05) and payment challans (Form GST PMT-06) in this article.
