A. Payments 
1. What are payments to be made under GST? 
Under GST the tax to be paid is mainly divided into 3: 
IGST  To be paid when interstate supply is made (paid to center) –
CGST  To be paid when making supply within the state (paid to center) –
SGST  To be paid when making supply within the state (paid to state) –
Circumstances CGST SGST IGST 
Goods sold from Delhi to Chandigarh NO NO YES 
Goods sold within Delhi YES YES NO 
Goods sold from Bangalore to Mysore YES YES NO 
Apart from the above payments a dealer is required to make these payments  –
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)  TDS is a mechanism by which tax is deducted by the dealer –
before making the payment to the supplier 
For example – 
A government agency gives a road laying contract to a builder. The contract value is Rs 10 
lakhs. When the government agency makes payment to the builder TDS @ 1% (which amounts 
to Rs 10,000) will be deducted and balance amount will be paid. 
Tax Collected at Source (TCS)  TCS is mainly for e-commerce aggregators (who owns and –
manages an electronic platform). It means that any dealer selling through e-commerce will 
receive payment after deduction of TCS @ 2%. 
 
2. How to calculate the GST payment to be made? 
Usually, the Input Tax Credit should be reduced from Outward Tax Liability to calculate the 
total GST payment to be made. TDS/TCS will be reduced from the total GST to arrive at the 
net payable figure. Interest & late fees (if any) will be added to arrive at the final amount.

total GST payment to be made. TDS/TCS will be reduced from the total GST to arrive at the 
net payable figure. Interest & late fees (if any) will be added to arrive at the final amount.

to be paid in cash.

for composition scheme has to pay a fixed percentage of GST on the total outward supplies 
made.
