Crores of rupees sit unclaimed in GST refunds because the process feels complex and one deficiency memo sends applicants back to the start. That money belongs in your working capital, not with the department.
Krishna TaxNova prepares refund claims the way officers scrutinise them: correct category, complete statements, matched invoices and a reply ready file. That is why our claims move.
What is GST Refund Claim?
GST refunds arise mainly from zero rated exports (with or without payment of tax), inverted duty structure where input tax rates exceed output rates, excess cash ledger balance and excess tax paid by mistake. Claims are filed in Form RFD-01 with prescribed statements, generally within two years of the relevant date.
Who Should Apply for GST Refund Claim?
- Exporters of goods and services with accumulated input credit
- Manufacturers under inverted duty structure such as textiles and footwear
- Businesses with excess balance in the cash ledger
- Taxpayers who paid tax under the wrong head or twice
