FAQs
What is GST Refund?
A GST refund refers to the process of claiming back the tax paid under the GST regime. Section 54 of the CGST/SGST Act discusses the provisions related to GST refunds. The term “refund” encompasses any remaining balance in the electronic cash ledger, unutilized input tax credit in the case of zero-rated supplies or when the credit accumulates due to a higher input tax rate, and taxes paid by certain organizations such as specialized agencies of the United Nations or Consulates/Embassies of foreign countries on inward supplies.
Can unutilized Input Tax Credit be allowed as a refund?
According to sub-section (3) of section 54, unutilized input tax credit can be allowed as a refund in two situations: (i) zero-rated supplies made without payment of tax and (ii) where the credit has accumulated due to a higher input tax rate compared to the output tax rate, except for nil rated or fully exempt supplies. However, if the exported items are subject to export duties, the supplier claims a drawback in relation to central tax, or the supplier uses the unused input tax credit, no reimbursement of the unused credit will be permitted.
Is there any time limit for sanctioning a refund?
Yes, there is a time limit for sanctioning refunds under the GST regime. Refunds must be sanctioned within 60 days from the date of receipt of a complete application. Failure to do so will result in the payment of interest at a rate not exceeding 6% in accordance with section 56 of the CGST/SGST Act. However, in certain cases where a provisional refund to the extent of 90% of the amount claimed is refundable in respect of zero-rated supplies made by specific registered persons, provisional refunds must be given within 7 days from the date of acknowledgement of the refund claim.
Is there any time limit for sanctioning a refund?
Yes, there is a threshold limit for refunds under the GST regime. Refunds will not be granted if the amount claimed is less than Rs. 1000/- in accordance with section 54(14) of the CGST/SGST Act.
