1. Access the GST Portal: Visit https://www.gst.gov.in/ .
2. Navigate to Payment Tracking: Under the "Services" tab, click "Payments" and then "Track Payment Status."
3. Enter Your Details: Provide your GST Identification Number (GSTIN) and Challan Identification Number (CPIN). You'll also need to enter the captcha code displayed.

1. Log In to the GST Portal: Enter your credentials and access your GST account.
2. Go to Challan History: Click "Services," then "Payments," and finally "Challan History."
3. Search for Challan: You can search by CPIN or date to find the specific challan you're interested in.
4. View Details: Click on the challan to see its status and other details. Similar to the pre-login method, you can view or download the challan and receipt based on its status.

1. CPIN vs. CIN: CPIN stands for Common Portal Identification Number and is generated before payment. CIN, or Challan Identification Number, is a 17-digit code issued after successful payment.
2. Duplicate Debits: If your account is debited twice for the same transaction, contact the GST Helpdesk at 0120-4888999 or email helpdesk@gst.gov.in (if both transactions appear in the Electronic Cash Ledger). For a single transaction showing up, contact your bank (it might be a bank error).
3. Re-initiating Payment: You can use a different bank account to re-initiate payment if the initial attempt fails.
4. Offline Payments After Expiry: GST challans are valid for 15 days. If you make an offline payment (cash/cheque/DD) after the expiry date, even if the bank accepts it, the GST portal may reject it. You'll need to get a refund from the bank and generate a new challan online.
5. Payment Server Downtime: If your net banking payment is deducted but you receive a server down message, check the challan history. If it shows "INITIATED," the payment is processing. If it's "FAILED," create a new challan. Depending on the status, the debited amount may be reflected or returned within 24 hours.
6. Cheque Payments: Make checks payable to "GST Payments."
7. Filling Up Challans: All challans must be generated online, even for over-the-counter payments (cheque/cash/DD). Print out the challan for offline payments.
8. Incorrect Challan Submissions: You can edit a challan within seven days of initially saving it if the CPIN hasn't been generated. Once the CPIN is created, generate a new challan; the incorrect one will expire after 15 days.
9. Next Steps After Filling Challan: After filling the challan, choose a payment method and complete the transaction.
10. Correcting Incorrect Challans: If the CPIN isn't generated, edit the challan within seven days of saving the form.
