what is PMT-09? how to file PMT-09 ?

PMT-09 is a GST form used to transfer the amount within your Electronic Cash Ledger from one head to another.
In simple words:
If you paid tax under the wrong head (like CGST instead of IGST) in the cash ledger, you can shift that amount using PMT-09 instead of paying again.
👉 It is available on the GST Portal.
Example
Suppose you deposited:
₹10,000 in CGST
But you actually needed to pay IGST
Instead of paying again, you can transfer ₹10,000 from CGST → IGST using PMT-09.
When PMT-09 is Used
You can use PMT-09 to transfer balance between:
IGST
CGST

PMT-09 works only for Cash Ledger, not for ITC in Credit Ledger.
