The following help topics should be kept in mind for off-setting the liabilities in GSTR-3B:

• The offset liability function is available only once for use in a tax period. There is no facility of setting off liabilities in part.
• Offset liability is successful only if the offset criteria is met and complete liabilities are offered for set off in the payment section.
• No offset can be done more than the liabilities payable as per the declaration in table 3.1
• Payment of the following can be done only through cash and not through credit

1. Reverse charge related liabilities can be paid off only though balance available in the cash ledger.
2. Late fee and interest can be paid off only through balance available in cash ledger

1. First fill the available credit under respective heads for utilization e.g. IGST Credit against IGST liability, CGST credit against CGST liability and SGST credit against SGST liability.
2. Liabilities still left out in respect of any major head can be set off with the credit, if any available in other major heads as per the credit utilization rules:

• IGST liability: Balance IGST liability can be set off with the CGST credit available after payment of CGST liability, if any. In case, still IGST liability remains, the same can be set off with SGST credit, if available after payment of SGST liability.
