Short answerYou claim a GST refund by filing Form RFD-01 on the portal with the supporting documents, within two years of the relevant date. The common refunds are for exports, accumulated input credit under an inverted duty structure, and excess tax paid.

How to claim

File RFD-01 with the statement of invoices and documents for your refund type; the officer processes it, often with a provisional refund for exports.

Common refund situations

Exports (with or without payment of tax), inverted duty structure (inputs taxed higher than outputs), and excess balance in the cash ledger.
