GST, TDS/TCS, PF, ESI, professional tax and advance tax are now settled as GL open items instead of via a supplier workaround, with challan-based payment and clearing.
Payment Reversal Correctly Reopens Cleared Dues
Reversing a statutory payment reopens the accrual it cleared and nets the payment’s own posting against the reversal, so a reversed challan no longer leaves a phantom balance on the liability account.
GL Payment — Statutory Challan Posting
Record a statutory challan as a single-account payment, select the accrued open items it clears, and post interest or penalty as separate expense lines that don’t distort the liability account.
GL Open Items Worklist & Manual Clearing
New /financial/gl-open-items worklist with per-account cards and a “Pay Selected” action, plus manual clearing for items that already net to zero.
GL Open Items for Statutory Dues
GST payable, TDS/TCS, PF, ESI, professional tax and advance tax accounts can be flagged as open-item managed. Every posted journal line on a flagged account becomes a clearable open item, matching Schedule III’s treatment of these as Other current liabilities → Statutory dues rather than trade payables.
