GST – Form PMT-09 is now available on GST Portal.
Earlier, if the taxpayer pays the tax in a different head by mistake, then he was not able to utilize the same and have to pay tax second time, which blocks the taxpayer money.
With release of PMT-09, all taxpayers registered under GST are eligible to inter transfer the cash balances available in the electronic cash ledger using Form GST PMT-09. For example, if the taxpayer has to pay interest by way of cash and had a cash balance in the tax column, then the taxpayer can transfer such amount to interest ledger by filing PMT 09. This will reduce a burden on the taxpayer to pay the cash
Also, if a taxpayer has wrongly paid SGST instead of CGST, he can now rectify the mistake by using Form PMT-09.
