Create a Challan and Pay Tax
Learn how to generate a challan and pay tax
The PMT-06 challan has to be generated before making payment of the net tax liability by the registered person. Once the details are entered on the challan, a Challan Portal Identification Number (CPIN) is generated on the GST portal. Upon the payment, a Challan Identification Number (CIN) is shared by the bank for any mode of payment such as online or over the counter. The CIN needs to be mentioned back in form GST PMT-06 (challan).
The challan in PMT-06 once generated would be valid for only 15 days to complete any pending payment, if any. A registered person can submit the challan application on the GST portal within 24 hours of paying tax. If the concerned bank does not share the CIN, a complaint would be forwarded by the GST portal to the concerned bank, and an intimation would also be provided to the registered person.

Under the QRMP method, while calculating the accurate tax due for the 2nd Month of the Quarter, liability & ITC of the 1st Month of the Quarter is also accounted for
For Example: If Tax paid for the first month was ₹ 30,087 & Total Tax due for first & second month is ₹1,08,435.Then, ClearTax will offset the ITC & Tax paid earlier & show the Net Tax Payable i.e ₹(1,08,435 - 30,087) = ₹ 78,356
