Section 17A: Transfer of Amounts Between Electronic Cash Ledgers
A new section, 17A, has been added to the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. This section addresses the process for transferring funds between different electronic cash ledgers. When an amount is moved from the electronic cash ledger under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act to the electronic cash ledger under either the State Goods and Services Tax Act or the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act, the government is required to ensure that an equivalent amount is transferred to the state's tax account or the union territory's tax account. The exact procedure and timeline for these transfers will be specified by regulations. This provision ensures that tax funds are properly allocated to the correct governmental accounts when they are moved between different tax jurisdictions.
