When do you have to make the payment?
Form GST PMT -06 is used to pay taxes, interest, penalties, fees, or other amounts payable under the GST. The due date for payment using form GST PMT -06 depends on the type of tax liability and the frequency with which the taxpayer files tax returns.

Methods of payment under the QRMP scheme
The Indian government introduced the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme to simplify GST compliance for small taxpayers. Under this scheme, taxpayers can file their GST returns quarterly instead of monthly and make monthly payments.
Taxpayers have two options when making payments under the QRMP scheme:
Fixed amount method:
under this method, taxpayers can pay a fixed amount on their GST liability for the first two months of the quarter. The amount paid should equal the amount paid in the previous quarter for the same period. For example, if the taxpayer paid 10,000 rupees as GST liability for January and February of the previous quarter, they can pay 10,000 rupees for the same months of the current quarter. In the third month of the quarter, taxpayers may adjust their payment based on their actual GST liability.
Self-Assessment Method:
Under this method, taxpayers can calculate their monthly GST liability based on their monthly sales and purchases and make payments accordingly. Using their GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), taxpayers can create a payment request through the GST portal to make the payment.
Taxpayers can switch between the two methods every quarter depending on their business needs. In addition, taxpayers are required to submit their GST returns quarterly under the QRMP system.
