People Also Ask — GST Refund in Ashok Nagar
Who can claim a GST refund under Section 54?
Any registered person who has paid tax in excess of liability, accumulated unutilised ITC on zero-rated supplies (Rule 89), accumulated ITC due to inverted duty structure (Rule 89(5)), excess balance in cash ledger, or tax paid by mistake (Section 77) can claim refund. Notified categories under Section 55 (embassies, UN agencies) follow Rule 95.
How long does a GST refund take to be sanctioned?
Section 54(7) read with Rule 92 mandates sanction within 60 days from receipt of a complete RFD-01. For zero-rated supplies, Rule 91 grants 90% provisional refund within 7 days through RFD-04. If the 60-day window is breached, Section 56 interest at 6% per annum (9% on appellate orders) accrues till disbursement.
What is the difference between Rule 89 and Rule 96 refunds?
Rule 89 governs refund of accumulated ITC where exports are under LUT (without IGST payment) or where inverted duty structure exists; filed in RFD-01 with Statement-3 or Statement-1. Rule 96 governs auto-disbursement of IGST refund where exports are made on payment of IGST; the shipping bill itself is the application, no separate RFD-01.
Can a refund rejection order be appealed?
Yes. RFD-06 rejection is an order under Section 54 and is appealable to the First Appellate Authority under Section 107 within 3 months (condonable up to 1 month). Pre-deposit of 10% of disputed tax (capped at ₹20 crore CGST + ₹20 crore SGST) is required. Second appeal to the GST Tribunal lies under Section 112 once it is operational.
Is refund of input services allowed under inverted duty structure?
No. The Supreme Court in Union of India v. VKC Footsteps India Pvt. Ltd. (2021) 13 SCC 332 upheld Rule 89(5) which restricts refund under inverted duty structure to ITC on input goods only. ITC on input services and capital goods, although available for set-off, is not refundable in cash under this category.
Does the deficiency memo RFD-03 extend the 2-year limitation?
No. Rule 90(3) makes it clear that on issue of RFD-03 the original RFD-01 is treated as not filed and the limitation clock under Section 54(1) continues to run. The taxpayer must rectify deficiencies and file a fresh RFD-01 within the residual limitation period; a deficiency memo close to the 2-year mark is fatal if not addressed promptly.
What is Statement-1 for inverted duty refund?

Statement-1 is the tax-period-wise computation submitted with RFD-01 for inverted duty refund. It captures Net ITC on inputs, turnover of inverted rated supply, Adjusted Total Turnover, and the maximum refund amount per the Rule 89(5) formula.

What is the LUT under Rule 96A?

Form RFD-11 is the annual undertaking that allows zero-rated supplies to leave India without an upfront IGST charge. Rule 96A read with CBIC Circular 37/11/2018-GST sets the eligibility — no past prosecution beyond the ₹2.5 crore evasion threshold within five years.

Can a service exporter claim refund without FIRC?

No. The realisation proof — FIRC or BRC from the authorised dealer bank — is a statutory ingredient of Section 2(6) IGST Act. Where part of the invoice value is unrealised at the limitation date, the refund is capped at the realised portion.

Can refund be claimed in INR for export of services?

INR receipt is generally not treated as convertible foreign exchange for Section 2(6) IGST Act. However Notification 16/2020-CT and the RBI Vostro arrangements extend the convertible foreign exchange concept to specified INR receipts. RBI permission and Vostro credit advice are required.

What is Rule 96(10) restriction on advance authorisation holders?

Rule 96(10) bars refund of IGST paid on exports for taxpayers who have availed inputs under advance authorisation, EOU or other concessional notifications. The accumulated ITC refund route under Rule 89 may still be available subject to eligibility and switching to LUT prospectively.

How is the formula under Rule 89(5) for inverted duty refund computed?

Maximum Refund = (Turnover of inverted-rated supply x Net ITC) / Adjusted Total Turnover minus the output tax on such inverted-rated supply. Per the VKC Footsteps ratio, Net ITC takes inputs only. Statement-1 captures the run period by period.

What is GST refund and the architecture of Section 54

Statutory foundation under Section 54 of the CGST Act

GST refund in India is governed primarily by Section 54 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 read with Sections 55 and 56 and the procedural framework in Rules 89 to 97 of the CGST Rules. Section 54(1) is the operative provision permitting any person to claim refund of any tax, interest, penalty, fees or any other amount paid by such person by making an application in the prescribed form within two years from the relevant date. The architecture deliberately distinguishes between categories — refund of unutilised input tax credit under Section 54(3) is permitted only in two limbs (zero-rated supplies without payment of tax, and accumulated credit on account of rate inversion), whereas refund of excess balance in the electronic cash ledger flows through a different procedural channel without the two-year horizon. The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines treat timely refund as an integral element of the destination principle in a credit-method consumption tax, and the Indian construct in Section 54 closely mirrors that recommended template. The Ashok Nagar registered person engaging with refund must first identify which limb governs the claim before any further procedural step.

Comparative perspective with pre-GST refund regimes

Before the rollout of GST in July 2017, refund of indirect taxes was scattered across multiple central and State legislations — Central Excise refund flowed through Section 11B of the Central Excise Act 1944, Service Tax refund through Rule 5 of the CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 read with Notification 27/2012-Central Excise NT, VAT refund through diverse State VAT statutes, and customs drawback through the All Industry Rates schedule. The Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers in its 2009 First Discussion Paper on GST identified this fragmented refund landscape as a major source of working-capital lockup for exporters and inverted-duty producers, and recommended consolidation into a unified refund regime. Section 54 represents that consolidation. The single national framework allows a manufacturer-exporter to claim refund across the entire input chain in one application, whereas the pre-GST regime would have required separate applications under three or four legislations. The Ashok Nagar taxpayer working under Section 54 therefore benefits from a structurally simplified refund pathway compared to the pre-2017 era.

Categories recognised under Section 54

Section 54 read with Rule 89(2) and the explanation to Section 54 recognises several distinct refund categories — IGST paid on export of goods refunded under Rule 96; accumulated ITC on zero-rated supplies without payment of tax claimed through Rule 89(4); accumulated ITC under inverted duty structure claimed through Rule 89(5); the surplus carried in the electronic cash ledger; tax mistakenly remitted under the wrong head per Section 77 read alongside Section 19 IGST Act; deemed-export supplies notified through Notification 48/2017-Central Tax; supplies to SEZ developers and units; finalisation of provisional assessment under Section 60; specified embassies and UN agencies under Section 55; and amounts arising from orders of an appellate forum, the tribunal or the courts. Each category embodies a distinct statutory schema with its own eligibility test, document set and procedural cadence. The Ashok Nagar entity must first determine its applicable category before designing the refund workflow.

Appeal against refund rejection under Section 107

Section 56 nine-percent interest on appellate-consequent refund

Where the appeal succeeds and the refund flows out of the appellate, Tribunal or court order, Section 56 read with its proviso prescribes interest at nine percent per annum, computed from the expiry of sixty days reckoned from the day the consequent application lands with the Department. The nine-percent rate is higher than the six-percent rate applicable to ordinary delayed refunds, recognising the additional time investment by the applicant in pursuing appellate remedy. The interest is not auto-disbursed and must be claimed expressly through correspondence or a separate refund application. The Ashok Nagar successful appellant should compute the Section 56 interest from day sixty-one of the appellate-consequent application and pursue the supplementary order through the jurisdictional officer.

First appeal cadence and ten-percent pre-deposit

Section 107 of the CGST Act provides the first-appeal mechanism against any decision or order passed by an adjudicating authority, including refund rejection orders in Form RFD-06. The appeal must be filed within three months from the date of communication of the order, condonable by a further one month on sufficient cause. Pre-deposit of ten percent of the disputed tax (capped at twenty crore rupees CGST plus twenty crore rupees SGST) is required under Section 107(6). The appeal is filed in Form APL-01 with grounds, prayer and supporting documents. The Ashok Nagar applicant whose refund has been rejected wrongfully should evaluate the appeal route promptly to preserve the limitation and consolidate working-capital recovery.

Grounds typically raised in refund appeals

The grounds typically raised in refund appeals include — wrongful application of Section 54(3) eligibility tests, mechanical reduction of Net ITC without supporting analysis, denial on time-bar grounds where deficiency-memo cycles ought to have been factored, denial on supplier-non-compliance grounds notwithstanding Suncraft Energy and similar rulings, mechanical application of Section 54(8) unjust-enrichment without testing the categorical exclusions, and procedural infirmity in the RFD-06 order itself (unreasoned conclusions, no hearing afforded, no consideration of taxpayer submissions). Each ground requires specific factual development and pleading. The Ashok Nagar applicant drafting the appeal should align each ground to the specific facts of the RFD-06 order rather than rely on generic templates.

Refund of excess balance in electronic cash ledger

Cash-ledger refund versus offset against future liability

Excess cash-ledger balance can either be refunded under Section 54 or carried forward and offset against future tax liability — the choice is the taxpayer's. The refund route releases working capital immediately but consumes administrative effort. The offset route conserves the balance for future liability but locks the funds with the Department. For taxpayers with steady future output liability the offset route is generally preferable, whereas for taxpayers winding down or with seasonal nil-liability quarters the refund route releases capital productively. The Ashok Nagar taxpayer should evaluate both routes against working-capital projections rather than default to refund, recognising the procedural cost of any refund application.

Section 77 wrong-head refund as a related category

Section 77 read together with Section 19 of the integrated-tax counterpart legislation governs the situation where remittance has occurred under the incorrect head — IGST in place of CGST plus SGST or vice versa — and the wrongly-deposited amount becomes refundable without the Section 54(1) horizon binding the claim. The correct tax is paid first, and the wrongly paid amount is then claimed as refund. Circular 162/18/2021-GST has clarified the procedural framework. The category is related to cash-ledger refund in that both bypass the two-year limitation, though the documentation and rationale differ. The Ashok Nagar taxpayer who has paid IGST on intra-State supplies or CGST plus SGST on inter-State supplies should pursue this route promptly to clear the misclassification.

No two-year limitation framework

Refund of surplus funds parked in the electronic cash ledger flows through Section 54 read with the explanation, but the two-year limitation under Section 54(1) does not apply since the balance reflects amounts deposited yet not absorbed against any tax, interest, penalty or fee liability — the deposit itself does not constitute tax paid. The application is filed in RFD-01 under the category Excess Balance in Cash Ledger. Documentation is minimal — only the cash-ledger statement extract and bank-account details. The refund is generally sanctioned within the sixty-day Section 54(7) window without unjust-enrichment scrutiny under Section 54(8)(a) since cash-ledger excess is expressly excluded from the unjust-enrichment test. The Ashok Nagar applicant with cash-ledger excess should pursue this refund route as the least friction-laden category.

Refund for deemed exports under Notification 48/2017

Procedural mechanics under Notification 49/2017

Notification 49/2017-Central Tax operationalises the deemed-export refund procedure. Either the supplier-side or the recipient-side party is entitled to claim the refund, provided the non-claimant furnishes an undertaking that no parallel claim will be pursued on the same supply. The application is filed in RFD-01 under the Deemed Exports category with Statement-5B capturing invoice-wise details. Supporting documentation includes the advance authorisation or EPCG authorisation copy, the recipient's undertaking, the EOU registration document where applicable, and the GSTR-2B reflection. The Ashok Nagar applicant should coordinate with the counterparty at the engagement stage to determine which side claims the refund and to obtain the undertaking on letterhead, avoiding last-minute documentation issues at refund-application time.

Deemed-export refund versus zero-rated refund

Deemed-export refund under Notification 48/2017 differs from zero-rated refund under Section 16 IGST Act in important respects. Zero-rated supplies (exports and SEZ supplies) are not taxable in the first place and the refund covers accumulated ITC. Deemed-export supplies are taxable supplies on which GST is paid, and the refund covers the tax paid itself, not accumulated ITC. The eligibility test, the formula and the documentation differ accordingly. Misapplication of the zero-rated framework to deemed-export cases or vice versa produces refund quanta that the officer must scale down at scrutiny. The Ashok Nagar applicant should first determine the correct characterisation before any computation, and document the characterisation working paper in the refund file.

Limitation and relevant date computation

The two-year limitation under Section 54(1) applies to deemed-export refund. The relevant date is the date of return relating to the tax period in which the deemed-export supply was made, as clarified in the explanation to Section 54 read with Notification 49/2017. The limitation runs strictly, and quarterly filing is the recommended cadence. Where the supplier and recipient are coordinating to determine the claimant, time consumed in undertaking-document negotiation must be factored into the limitation calendar. The Ashok Nagar applicant should not wait for the full annual cycle before filing, since the deemed-export documentation chain is more elaborate than ordinary domestic refund and remediation cycles can consume the limitation cushion.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Deficiency Memo

Deficiency Memo is the Form RFD-03 communication issued by the proper officer under Rule 90(3) where the original RFD-01 is found defective on documentary or computational grounds. The original is treated as never having been validly submitted. The applicant must rectify and file a fresh RFD-01. Circular 125/44/2019 limits the department to one such memo per claim.

Sanction Order

Sanction Order is the final adjudicatory order in Form RFD-06 passed by the proper officer either sanctioning the refund (in full or in part) or rejecting it. Section 54(7) prescribes a sixty-day window from receipt of complete application. Sanction orders are appealable under Section 107 within three months. Where part-rejection is proposed, RFD-08 SCN precedes the RFD-06 order.

PFMS

PFMS is the Public Financial Management System of the Office of the Controller General of Accounts — the central platform through which all GST refunds are disbursed. PFMS performs name-match, IFSC validation and account-active checks against the bank account linked to the GSTIN. A PFMS rejection prevents refund credit despite an RFD-06 sanction order being in place.

FIRC

FIRC is the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate issued by an authorised dealer bank confirming receipt of foreign exchange against an export of services. It is the realisation proof required under Section 2(6) of the IGST Act for a service export to qualify as zero-rated and to trigger the Section 54 refund entitlement. Banks now issue an electronic FIRC (e-FIRC).

BRC

BRC is the Bank Realisation Certificate issued by authorised dealer banks for export of goods, confirming realisation of foreign exchange. Although not always insisted upon at refund stage for goods exports (where shipping bill and EGM suffice), BRC is the gold-standard evidence and is requested where refund quantum is large or where the export-realisation period under FEMA is in question.

Shipping Bill

Shipping Bill is the customs export document filed at ICEGATE that triggers the IGST refund under Rule 96. Under Rule 96(1) the shipping bill itself is treated as the refund application. The EGM filed by the shipping line confirms physical export and Table 6A of GSTR-1 must mirror the shipping bill data for the system to release the IGST refund.

EGM

EGM is the Export General Manifest filed by the shipping line or airline confirming that the cargo has actually left India. Without EGM the IGST refund under Rule 96 does not get auto-triggered. The most frequent cause of stuck IGST refunds in our experience with exporter clients is EGM non-filing or EGM mismatch with the shipping bill.

Statement-3

Statement-3 is the prescribed annexure under Rule 89(2) for accumulated-credit or IGST refund attributable to zero-rated transactions. It captures line-level export details — invoice number, invoice date, port code, the shipping bill number with its date, EGM reference, foreign currency value, rupee value and the IGST or ITC claimed. Refund officers cross-verify it against GSTR-1 Table 6A and GSTR-2B.

Statement-1

Statement-1 is the annexure under Rule 89(5) for refund of accumulated input tax credit on account of inverted duty structure. It captures the period-wise computation of the Rule 89(5) formula — the four inputs being turnover of the lower-rated output supply, Net ITC, Adjusted Total Turnover, and tax payable on that same output. The refund quantum equals the formula output.

Table 6A

Table 6A is the section of GSTR-1 capturing exports of goods on payment of IGST and exports under LUT. The data here is the trigger for the system-driven IGST refund under Rule 96. Any mismatch between Table 6A and the shipping bill on invoice value, GSTIN or shipping bill number will stall the auto-refund. Table 9A of the next GSTR-1 is used to rectify mismatches.

Section 56 Interest

Section 56 Interest is the statutory interest payable by the department where the principal refund is not disbursed within sixty days of receipt of the complete application. The ordinary rate is six per cent per annum; the proviso elevates it to nine per cent where the refund flows from an appellate order. The clock runs from day sixty-one till the actual date of refund.

Deemed Exports

Deemed Exports refers to supplies notified under Notification 48/2017-Central Tax as deemed to be exports for refund purposes — supplies to EOUs, supplies against advance authorisation, supplies of capital goods against EPCG, supplies to specified projects and supplies to UN agencies. The refund may be filed by either side of the transaction (supplier or buyer), with a corresponding waiver undertaking from the other side.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Ashok Nagar

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Ashok Nagar, the cluster of automobile, residential, retail businesses that defines Ashok Nagar's commercial fabric.

Retail
Common issue: Multi-store retailers occasionally file refund of excess electronic cash ledger balance under Section 54 without first netting off all liability tabs in the cash ledger. Where IGST, CGST, SGST, interest, late fee and penalty heads carry uneven balances, claiming refund of the gross balance produces partial sanctions and reopens the working paper for officer queries.
How we handle it: Use Form PMT-09 first to consolidate balances across heads as permitted under Section 49(10) before filing the refund application; identify the genuinely excess head and apply for refund only on that head; reconcile against the electronic cash ledger statement attached to the RFD-01 to ensure consistency with the system-displayed balance on the filing date.
Retail
Common issue: Apparel and footwear retailers whose stock-keeping units span the rate-restructuring announced at the 47th GST Council meeting at Chandigarh face inverted-duty refund opportunities on pre-revision stock taxed at a higher input rate than the revised output rate. The opportunity expires within the Section 54(1) two-year limitation, and retailers frequently realise the position only at the next year-end stocktake.
How we handle it: Reconcile the pre-revision and post-revision rate matrix immediately on each Council notification; identify SKUs where the post-revision output rate is below the input rate and compute the Rule 89(5) formula on the relevant tax periods; file the inverted-duty refund within the limitation window measured from the statutory GSTR-3B due date applicable to that tax period.
Hospitality
Common issue: Hotels supplying convention and banqueting services to overseas event organisers occasionally treat the receipt as zero-rated under Section 16 IGST Act and seek refund under Rule 89(4). Section 13(5) IGST Act however deems place of supply for event services to be where the event is physically held, and where the venue is in India the supply is domestic taxable, defeating the refund claim.
How we handle it: Apply Section 13(5) IGST Act at the contract-formation stage to determine place of supply by reference to event venue; where the venue is in India, raise CGST/SGST or IGST appropriately and do not seek refund; restrict zero-rated refund applications to genuinely cross-border supplies where the venue or the recipient is outside India and the Section 2(6) limbs are independently satisfied.
Hospitality
Common issue: Restaurant arms within hotels paying tax at five percent without ITC under Notification 11/2017-CT(R) sometimes seek refund of accumulated ITC on housekeeping and utilities apportioned to the restaurant. The scheme bar in the Notification prevents ITC availment in the first place, and refund of credit that was never legitimately availed is not a category recognised under Section 54.
How we handle it: Disable ITC entries for restaurant-attributable inputs at the procurement stage so the credit ledger reflects only legitimately availed credit; where credit has been wrongfully claimed, reverse through DRC-03 with interest under Section 50(3) rather than seek refund; reserve refund applications for genuinely refundable categories under Section 54(3) or Section 54(8).
Education
Common issue: Coaching institutes operating online programmes for overseas Indian-origin learners often claim refund under Rule 89(4) treating the receipts as export of services. Notification 9/2017-Integrated Tax exempts certain online educational supplies, and where the supply is exempt the Section 54(3) refund route under zero-rated supplies does not apply since exempt supplies are not zero-rated, only nil-rated.
How we handle it: Distinguish exempt supplies under Section 11 (or its IGST counterpart) from zero-rated supplies under Section 16 IGST Act — only the latter qualifies for refund of accumulated ITC; where the supply is genuinely zero-rated export of services, verify both limbs of Section 2(6) IGST Act including FIRC realisation; for exempt supplies, accept the Rule 42 reversal of common inputs as the only available remedy.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Embassy refundHospitality

Embassy refund under Notification 16/2017-IT(R)

Issue: A Chennai banquet venue had supplied catering services to a Consulate General which carries a UIN under Section 25(9). The supplier had collected GST on the invoice and the UIN-holder sought refund of the tax paid as embodied in Notification 16/2017-IT(R) and the corresponding CGST notifications.
Approach: We assisted the UIN holder in filing RFD-10 quarterly with invoice-wise details, the UIN-holder declaration of receipt for official purposes, and reciprocity certification from the Ministry of External Affairs. Statement-3A was reconciled with the supplier's GSTR-1 Table 4A entries.
Outcome: Refund of approximately ₹2.1 lakh sanctioned within fifty days of acknowledgement; quarterly filing template established for the UIN holder.
Closure refundHospitality

Refund on closure of business with carry-forward ITC

Issue: A Chennai restaurant group permanently shut down operations and applied for GST cancellation in REG-16. After cancellation the cash ledger held approximately ₹2.7 lakh and the credit ledger held approximately ₹8.4 lakh of accumulated ITC. The cash ledger portion was refundable; the credit ledger position was tested in law.
Approach: We filed RFD-01 for the cash ledger balance under the excess cash balance category and a separate RFD-01 for the credit ledger under Rule 86(4A). On the credit ledger we relied on Rule 86(4A) read with Section 54(3) and noted that the High Court positions on credit-ledger refund on closure were unsettled.
Outcome: Cash ledger refund of ₹2.7 lakh sanctioned in RFD-06 within thirty-six days; credit ledger refund of ₹8.4 lakh declined by the department; appeal kept open under Section 107.
Excess cash ledgerRestaurants

Restaurant chain claims excess cash-ledger refund post-closure

Issue: A three-outlet restaurant group in Alwarpet closed two underperforming outlets and consolidated operations into one. Excess balance of ₹6.8 lakh was sitting in the electronic cash ledger across IGST, CGST and SGST heads. The owner believed cash-ledger balances were trapped and would expire.
Approach: We filed RFD-01 under the 'excess balance in electronic cash ledger' category — this is one of the cleanest refund routes since there is no Rule 89(4) zero-rated formula complication. Reconciled the closing balance head-wise, ensured no pending demands or DRC-07 orders existed against the GSTIN, and included a brief covering note.
Outcome: Refund credited in 28 days to the bank account on record; full ₹6.8 lakh recovered; no deficiency memo since the cash-ledger category rarely attracts scrutiny.
Wrong head paymentWholesale

Wholesale trader recovers refund of wrong-head tax under Section 77

Issue: A wholesale trader in Sowcarpet treated a stock-transfer to its Karnataka branch as intra-State and paid CGST plus SGST of ₹3.6 lakh in March. The audit revealed it should have been an inter-State supply with IGST. The trader paid IGST as Section 77 / Rule 89(1A) correction but the CGST-SGST originally paid was now refundable.
Approach: We filed RFD-01 under the 'tax paid under wrong head' category invoking Section 77 of the CGST Act read with Section 19 of the IGST Act. Filed within the two-year limitation calculated from the IGST-payment date (not the original wrong-head payment date, per Notification 35/2021-CT). Attached the wrong-head payment challan, correct IGST payment challan, and DRC-03 trail.
Outcome: CGST-SGST refund of ₹3.6 lakh sanctioned in 41 days; no interest demand on the wrong-head period since Section 77 expressly exempts; cleaner cross-State stock-transfer SOP put in place.

Common Questions

GST Refund FAQ — Ashok Nagar

Common questions from Ashok Nagar clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Section 56 prescribes interest at 6% per annum on refund sanctioned beyond 60 days of complete application. Where refund arises from an order of an appellate authority, tribunal or court that has attained finality, the interest rate is 9% per annum from the date immediately after expiry of 60 days from the receipt of application consequent to such order.
Notification 48/2017-Central Tax notifies certain supplies (supply to EOU, supply against advance authorisation, supply of capital goods against EPCG, supply to UN agencies) as deemed exports. Either the supplier or the recipient may claim refund under Section 54 read with Rule 89, with the other party giving an undertaking that it will not claim the same refund.
Yes — we handle GST Refund for individuals and businesses across Ashok Nagar (PIN 600083) and nearby West Mambalam. The work is done end-to-end by our own team, with documents collected online over WhatsApp or email and in-person meetings available at our Maduravoyal and Nerkundram offices. Call 9566-068-468 to begin.
Rule 89(5) prescribes the formula: Maximum Refund = {(Turnover of inverted rated supply × Net ITC) ÷ Adjusted Total Turnover} − tax payable on such inverted rated supply. "Net ITC" covers ITC on inputs only (not input services, post the Supreme Court ruling in VKC Footsteps). The formula is computed period-wise in Statement-1.
Shipping bill (with EGM filed), export invoice, FIRC or BRC evidencing receipt of foreign exchange, GSTR-1 reflecting the export invoice in Table 6A, GSTR-3B for the period, and a self-declaration that the goods are not subject to export duty. For services, FIRC plus invoice and contract suffice.
Yes. Beyond GST Refund, we cover GST, income tax, TDS, company and LLP registrations, digital signatures, audits and finance documentation — so Ashok Nagar clients keep all their compliance under one roof. Ask us about anything on 9566-068-468.
Yes. Where IGST has been paid instead of CGST+SGST or vice versa, Section 77 of the CGST Act and Section 19 of the IGST Act allow refund without imposing the limitation under Section 54(1). The taxpayer can pay the correct tax and claim the wrongly paid tax as refund.
Section 107 provides a first appeal to the Appellate Authority against an RFD-06 rejection within 3 months from the order, condonable up to a further 1 month. Pre-deposit of 10% of disputed tax is required (capped at ₹20 crore CGST + ₹20 crore SGST). Second appeal lies to the GST Appellate Tribunal under Section 112 once it is functional.
Yes — we work comfortably in both Tamil and English, which makes explaining GST Refund to Ashok Nagar clients straightforward. Ask your questions in whichever language you prefer, by call or WhatsApp on 9566-068-468.
Statement-3 is the prescribed annexure for refund of IGST on exports / refund of accumulated ITC on zero-rated supplies. It captures invoice-wise details of export — invoice number, date, port code, shipping bill number and date, EGM details, foreign currency value, INR value and IGST/ITC claimed. It is uploaded along with RFD-01.
No. The proviso to Section 54(3) and Rule 89(4)(B) exclude ITC on capital goods from refund of accumulated credit on zero-rated supplies and inverted duty structure. Capital goods ITC remains in the credit ledger to be set off against future output tax.
Not sure whether GST Refund applies to you? Call 9566-068-468 and describe your situation — we will tell you plainly whether you need it, when, and what it involves, before you spend anything. Many Ashok Nagar enquiries start exactly this way.
Section 54 of the CGST Act recognises refund of IGST paid on exports under Rule 96, accumulated unutilised ITC on zero-rated supplies under Rule 89, accumulated ITC due to inverted duty structure under Rule 89(5), excess balance in the electronic cash ledger, refund on finalisation of provisional assessment, deemed exports refund, embassy/UN agency refund, and refund of tax paid by mistake. Each category has its own eligibility test and documentation set.
LUT route blocks no working capital — exports go out without IGST and accumulated ITC is refunded later. IGST route blocks IGST cash for the duration of refund processing but auto-disburses on shipping bill. For high-volume exporters with adequate ITC accumulation LUT is preferred; for those with limited ITC the IGST route gives faster realisation.
The bank account in which refund is to be credited must be linked to the GSTIN under PFMS. Mismatch in name, IFSC or invalid account number causes refund failure (PFMS rejection) even after RFD-06 sanction. The taxpayer must update account details in non-core amendment of registration before re-triggering disbursement.
Common rejection grounds in RFD-06 include: time-bar under Section 54(1), mismatch between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B ITC not fully reflected, FIRC/BRC not produced for service exports, computation error in Statement-1/3, claimed amount exceeding eligible quantum under Rule 89(4)/89(5) formula, and unjust enrichment under Section 54(8) for non-zero-rated categories.
