  1. Facts

    No. A composition taxpayer cannot claim input tax credit, so CMP-08 tax is paid only from the electronic cash ledger.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 10(4), CGST Act 2017A composition taxpayer cannot collect tax from the buyer and cannot claim input tax credit.
    • Rule 87, CGST Rules 2017Deposits in the electronic cash ledger are made through the PMT-06 challan.
  3. Analysis

    Deposit cash by PMT-06 challan through net banking, UPI where available, or over the counter. TCS deducted by e-commerce operators is also credited to your cash ledger and can be used. Make the challan a few days before the due date so it reflects in time. Pay the exact head-wise amounts, CGST and SGST separately.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Compute CGST and SGST for the quarter.
    2. Create a PMT-06 challan for those amounts.
    3. Pay through net banking or other modes.
    4. Use the cash ledger balance in CMP-08.
