- The credit of the tax paid within the initial two months of the quarter will be available at the time of return filing for the quarter.
- Self-assessed liabilities will be paid within the 20th of every month. Liability can either be settled out of the balance in the electronic cash ledger or electronic credit ledger, whichever is applicable.
- Tax liability and input tax credit (ITC) availed will be based on self-assessment subject to the adjustment made in the main return of the quarter.
- According to Section 50 of the Act, excess ITC claimed/short liability declared will be liable for interest charges. Hence, any late payment will draw interest as per the rate mentioned in Section 50 of the Act.
