Government has changed the GST Set off Rules by inserting section 49A in CGST Act w.e.f. 01.02.2019. Now IGST Credit is required to be set off fully before taking any set off from CGST/SGST credit. Which means earlier CGST/SGST credit was first used to be set-off with CGST/SGST liability respectively and thereafter only, IGST credit was used against CGST/SGST liability. But now IGST Credit has to be first utilised against IGST/CGST/SGST liability, even before utilisation of CGST/SGST credit.
