What is a GST Refund?

A GST refund is the return of money that you have paid to the government, or the credit that has built up in your account, when the law allows you to take it back. Many businesses pay more GST than they should, or collect less output tax than the tax they pay on inputs, and a large amount of input tax credit remains unused in their account. In such cases, the GST law lets you apply for a refund, instead of leaving the money with the government.

A GST refund is claimed on the GST portal, mostly in Form RFD-01. The officer checks the claim, and if it is correct, the money is sent to the bank account that you have linked to on the portal.

CA Arpit Gupta helps exporters, manufacturers, traders and service providers to claim GST refunds, prepare the documents, reply to officers and follow the claim until the money reaches the bank.
