To taxable person having GST registration in the State, not in furtherance of business

It has to be noted that Tally.ERP 9 does not calculate Kerala Flood Cess in B2B transactions, and cess applied in the transaction is manually recorded.

Such transactions are rare, and you can get the details using one of the following methods:
