How to generate Challan for making payments post log-in onto the Portal?

To create and generate a Challan, post logging onto the GST Portal, perform the following steps:

1. Access the https://www.gst.gov.in/ URL. The GST Home page is displayed. Login with valid credentials and then navigate to Services > Payments > Create Challan option.

2. The Reason for Challan page is displayed. Select the reason as Monthly payment for quarterly return or Any other payment.

Note:

For taxpayers who fill out Form GSTR-3B every three months (under the QRMP Scheme) and want to pay for the first and second months of the quarter, choose “Monthly Payment for quarterly return” as the reason.

Selecting For quarterly returns with a monthly payment, the Financial Year, Period, and Challan Type fields are shown.
Selecting If you choose any other way to pay, you go straight to the Create Challan page..

If a taxpayer has chosen to file every month, they won’t be able to make a challan with the reason “Monthly payment for quarterly return.”
You can see the Cash and Credit ledger balances as of the current date by clicking the VIEW LEDGER BALANCE button.

For taxpayer filing Form GSTR-3B on quarterly basis (under QRMP Scheme):

2.1. Select the reason as Monthly payment for quarterly return. From the Financial Year and Period drop-down list, select the Financial Year and Period for which you want to create the challan.

2.2. Select the Challan Type as 35% Challan or Challan on self-assessment basis as applicable. Click the PROCEED button.

Note:

When you choose 35% Challan as the Challan Type:
When the return is due every three months, 35% of the tax paid from the Electronic Cash Ledger in Form GSTR-3B of the previous quarter will be filled in automatically on the challan (Form GST PMT-06), which the taxpayer must pay.
100% of the tax liability paid from the Electronic Cash Ledger in the Form GSTR-3B return for the previous month will be automatically filled in on the challan (Form GST PMT-06), which the taxpayer needs to pay.
Please note that if a taxpayer chooses the 35% challan option, there will be no interest charged on a short payment of liability for the chosen month if the amount on the challan is paid by the 25th of the following month.
Selecting Challan Type as Challan on Self-Assessment Basis: Taxpayer can self-assess their current month’s liability (net of Input Tax credit) and can generate challan for the same.
Interest will be added to payments made through “Challan on self-assessment basis” if they are late (after the due date of the 25th of the next month) or don’t cover the full amount owed for that month.
