Under GST Rule 86B, taxpayers with a monthly taxable turnover exceeding ₹50 lakhs (excluding exempt/zero-rated supplies) must pay at least 1% of their total output tax liability in cash, restricting Input Tax Credit (ITC) usage to 99%. This anti-evasion measure, effective since January 1, 2021, ensures a minimum 1% cash payment via the electronic cash ledger.
It means at least 1% of tax liability must be paid by cash. It applies to such taxpayers who have monthly value of taxable supplies more than Rs. 50 lakh (not being exempt or zero-rated supplies).
The rationale for introducing this rule
To curb tax evasion by issuing fake invoices, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) had made it mandatory for taxpayers to have a monthly turnover of more than Rs 50 lakh to pay 1% of their GST liability in cash.
Manufacturers and traders typically have a GST Composition Scheme rate of 1% of turnover. Restaurants and service providers under the Composition Scheme usually face a rate of 5% of turnover. Participants in the scheme cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on their purchases.
The GST slabs are currently set at 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% for most goods and services. To calculate IGST, just multiply the taxable amount by the appropriate GST rate. For an intra-state transaction, you'll need to calculate CGST & SGST/UTGST. In this case, the sum of CGST and SGST/UTGST is equal to the total GST amount.
Rule 86B: Businesses with monthly taxable supplies over Rs. 50 lakh must pay 1% GST liability in cash. The Government introduced Rule 86B in the CGST Rules via Notification No. 94/2020 – Central Tax dated 22nd December 2020, which became effective from 1st January 2021.
Since GST is generally triggered by any taxable supply, the form of payment, cash or otherwise, doesn't exempt you from your reporting and payment obligations.

To calculate how much GST was included in the price, divide the total price by 11 ($1000∕11=$90.91). To calculate the price without GST, divide the price by 1.1 ($1000∕1.1=$909.09).

Understanding the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The goods and services tax (GST) is an indirect federal sales tax that is applied to the cost of certain goods and services. The business adds the GST to the price of the product, and a customer who buys the product pays the sales price inclusive of the GST.
Formula: GST amount = pre-GST price x GST rate. Example: If the pre-GST price is $100 and the GST rate is 10%, the GST amount is $100 x 10% = $10. Total price: To find the total price, add the GST amount to the pre-GST price: $100 + $10 = $110.
The current value of 1 GST is 0.002 USD. Inversely, 1.00 USD would allow you to trade for 529 GST, not including platform or gas fees.
GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services. That means the end consumer will only bear the GST charged by the last dealer in the supply chain. Several economists and experts see this as the most ambitious tax reform since independence.
