GST Refund Assistance Services

Businesses can claim GST refunds in several situations: excess balance in electronic cash ledger, exports of goods or services, supplies to SEZ units, inverted duty structure (where input tax rate is higher than output tax rate), deemed exports, and certain international tourist refunds. Our experts can help identify which refund type applies to your business.

According to GST law, 90% of the claimed refund amount may be provisionally granted within 7 days of acknowledgment for exporters. For other refunds, the processing time is typically 60 days from the date of application. Actual processing times are controlled by GST authorities. Our team helps reduce avoidable delays through proper documentation and follow-ups.

Documentation requirements vary based on refund type but generally include: declaration/undertaking in Form GST RFD-01, relevant invoices, shipping bills for exports, bank realization certificates, statement of invoices, calculation of refund amount, and CA certificate in specific cases. Our team ensures all documentation is properly prepared and submitted.

Yes, unutilized ITC can be claimed as a refund in two specific scenarios: zero-rated supplies made without payment of tax (exports), and cases of inverted duty structure where the tax rate on inputs is higher than on output supplies. However, there are restrictions for certain goods and services, which our experts can help navigate.

If a refund application is rejected or partially approved, we first analyze the deficiency memo or rejection order to understand the reasons. We then prepare a comprehensive response addressing each issue, gather additional supporting documentation if needed, and assist with an appeal or revised application as appropriate. The final outcome remains with GST authorities.
