Question
What is the reason for maintaining separate accounts for CGST, SGST and IGST?

Answer

CGST, SGST and IGST all these all collected from different types of transactions.
  • CGST: It is collected on intra state supplies made (i.e. within the state).
  • SGST: It is collected on intra state supplies made (i.e. within the state).
  • IGST: It is collected on inter state supplies made (i.e. outside the state).
So, in order to get a clear presentation of all the adjustments these accounts are maintained separately.
