End-to-end filing, department follow-up and appeal support handled by experienced Chartered Accountants.
GST refund applies to exporters (LUT/Bond or IGST-paid route), businesses with an inverted duty structure (input tax higher than output tax), SEZ/EOU suppliers, and excess tax paid by mistake. Claims must be filed within 2 years from the relevant date via Form RFD-01A.
Many businesses are eligible for GST refunds without realising it. Here's where refunds typically accumulate:
Exported goods but ITC is stuck?
If you exported under LUT/Bond without paying IGST, accumulated Input Tax Credit (ITC) on raw materials, packing and freight can be claimed as refund each quarter.
Input tax higher than output tax?
Common in textiles, pharma and job work. When purchases attract a higher GST rate than sales, ITC accumulates and becomes refundable.
Paid tax on exempt supply, or at the wrong rate?
Duplicate payment, wrong classification, or tax paid on exempt items are all eligible for refund, along with interest as applicable.
Supplying to SEZ units?
Deemed exports attract zero GST. If you supply to SEZ/EOU/STPI under LUT, your accumulated ITC is refundable.
Need faster cash flow?
Exporters can get 90% of their refund in around 7 days against a bank guarantee, ahead of the final sanction.
Exported with IGST payment?
If you chose to export with IGST payment, that IGST is refundable in full after shipping bill verification.
For refunds above ₹10 lakhs, you can choose success-based pricing.
Pay only 5-8% of the sanctioned amount, only after the refund is received.

A GST refund must be claimed within 2 years from the relevant date (typically the date of export, payment, or the event giving rise to the refund). Once this window closes, the refund can no longer be claimed — so it's worth checking eligibility for older periods before the limitation period runs out.
