What is an electronic cash ledger?

The electronic cash laser contains a summary of all deposits/payments made by the taxpayer. In the electronic ledger, information is kept in the minor/Major heads. For the convenience of the user, the ledger is displayed head-wise i.e. CGST, IGST, SGST / UTGST, and CESS. 

Each major head is divided into five smaller heads:

• Taxes, interest, fines, fees, and others. It can be accessed under Post-Login mode on GST portal under Services> Laser> Electronic Cash Ledger

• The electronic cash ledger is an account of a taxpayer maintained by the GST system that reflects cash deposits in banks and other liabilities recognized by taxpayers.

• Deductions on tax while (GST return filing) (source) (TDS) and tax collected at source (TCS) are also paid to the electronic cash ledger in the form of a taxpayer's cash deposit.

• A registered taxpayer can deposit cash in recognized banks through the prescribed mode for electronic cash using any online or offline mode allowed by the GST portal.

• Cash deposits can be used to make payments such as liability, interest, penalties, fees, and others.

There are four major leaders in electronic cash leaders.

GST, SGST / UTGST,CGST and Cess. Each of these major heads has five heads:

1. Tax
2. Interest
3. Penalty
4. Fees
5. Other

• When a taxpayer creates an invoice, the taxpayer chooses to add an amount for each minor within each major.

• Once the payment against the invoice is successfully made and the CIN contacts the GST system, the electronic cash bearer is updated with funds under Major and Minor Heads respectively.

• It is not possible to use a cross of money in a major or minor head once paid.
