Q 7: Is filing IFF mandatorily or optional?
A: Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is an optional facility to those taxpayers who want to pass on input tax credit (ITC) to their recipients (buyers/customers) in first two months of a quarter. Those taxpayers who do not have to pass credit to their recipients need not file IFF in the first two months of the quarter. They may declare their outward supplies in the quarterly FORM GSTR-1. It may be noted that since IFF is an optional facility, IFF for a month will expire after the due date of 13th of next month, and cannot be filed after this date.
Q 8: How do I make payment of my liability in first two months of the quarter?
A: In first two months of the quarter, payment of liability can be made by either of the following two methods:
a. Fixed Sum Method: Portal will generate a pre-filled challan in Form GST PMT-06. The system generated pre-filled challan in this case is commonly also known as 35% challan.

OR

Illustration:
Method (a) :
Taxpayer paid liability by cash amounting to ₹ 5500/- [IGST: ₹ 2,000/-, CGST: ₹ 1,000/-, SGST: ₹ 2,500/-] in monthly GSTR-3B for December 2020. The 35% challan generated as per the fixed sum method for January to March 2021 quarter will be of ₹ 5,500/- with the same head-w
