Set-off rules in GST dictate the mandatory order for utilizing Input Tax Credit (ITC) to pay output liabilities, prioritizing the full exhaustion of Integrated GST (IGST) credit first. IGST credit can offset IGST, CGST, or SGST/UTGST liabilities in any order. After IGST is zeroed, CGST/SGST credits are used for their respective liabilities, with remaining CGST/SGST credit available for inter-head adjustment (excluding CGST to SGST and vice versa).
In the GST regime, credit of tax paid at the time of inward supply is allowed to be set-off against the outward liability of a taxpayer. Chapter V of the Central Goods and Services Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as 8the CGST Act9) deals with input tax credit (hereinafter referred to as <ITC= or <input tax credit=).
