Time-limit to claim GST Refund
Any person claiming the refund of the GST tax, or the interest paid, should make an application within a period of two years from the relevant date using the Form GST RFD-01 electronically. A registered person may claim the balance available in the electronic cash ledger by filing the return as per the dates mentioned under GST.
An agency of the United Nations Organization or any multilateral financial institution and organizations notified under the United Nations, Consulate or Foreign embassies are all entitled to refund of tax on inward supply of goods and services or both. An application has to be filed for the refund before the expiry of 6 months from last day of the quarter in which such goods/service were received.
GST Refund Process
In current returns the taxpayer have to file a separate refund form to claim the refunds, however, once the simplified returns come there is a provision of auto-populating data with respect to refunds via the ANX-1 itself. There are two different fields in new returns:
Supplier claiming refund (This has been added in E-Invoice as well): In case the taxpayer is selling to SEZ unit/developer or going ahead with deemed exports then he can mention Y in this column and get the details auto-populated in the refund form.
Flag indicating whether document to be auto-populated to refunds: In case taxpayer is supplying to other than SEZ unit/developer or deemed exports but he want the data to get auto-populated in refund forms then he can mention Y in this field.
