Unlike the previous regime, the liability of GST can be made through online payment. This has given an ease to the the taxpayers. For payment of GST, we have to create GST Challan properly. To pay any GST liability i.e. tax amount, interest, fees, penalty or any other amount first step is to create GST payment challan in Form GST PMT – 06 on GST Portal.
Here are the steps to create GST payment challan:-
Step 1: Login to www.gst.gov.in with username and password.
Step 2: On dashboard, go to Services> Payments> Create Challan.
Step 3: Enter the amounts of liability in major head (CGST, IGST, CESS and SGST) and in respective minor head (Tax, Penalty, Fee, Interest & others).
Now, select the Mode of Payment i.e. e-payment, over the counter or NEFT/ RTGS.

Step 5: After generating challan, a summary page will appear containing all the details of challan. Select the mode of payment and click on make payment. For online payment select Net banking and pay challan. In case of offline mode take a printout to bank and pay the challan amount over the counter.
