GST Refund: what you should know

When a GST refund arises

Common cases are export of goods or services without payment of tax, an inverted duty structure where inputs are taxed higher than outputs, tax paid by mistake, and refunds after an appeal. Each case has its own form, supporting documents and time limit.

The refund process

The claim is filed on the GST portal with the required statements and invoices. The officer issues an acknowledgement, may ask for more documents, and then sanctions the refund to your bank account. Interest can apply on delayed refund. Time limits, generally two years from the relevant date, are strict.

Reducing rejection risk

Match your invoices with GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, keep shipping bills and payment proof ready and file in the right category. Most rejections come from mismatches and missing documents.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Missing the two-year time limit
  • Mismatch between returns and refund claim
  • Weak export proof
General information based on the law as we understand it today. Rules, rates and due dates change, so confirm your own case with a Chartered Accountant.

FAQ

GST Refund: frequently asked questions

What is the time limit for a GST refund claim?

Generally two years from the relevant date, which differs by the type of refund.

Who can claim a refund for exports?

Exporters can claim refund of tax paid on exports, or of unutilised input tax credit if they export under a Letter of Undertaking.

How long does a GST refund take?
