Direct Answer
What is GST Refund?
GST Refund allows taxpayers to reclaim GST paid in excess, ITC accumulated on exports, inverted duty structure, or tax paid due to erroneous assessment. Under Section 54 of the CGST Act, a refund application must be filed in Form RFD-01 on the GST portal within 2 years from the relevant date.
Export IGST Refund: When IGST is paid on export of goods, the refund is auto-generated via GSTR-1 filing and shipping bill data linkage on ICEGATE — no separate RFD-01 is required. For ITC refund on exports under LUT/Bond (zero-rated without payment of IGST), Form RFD-01 must be filed manually.
Once filed, the officer issues Form RFD-04 (provisional refund, 90% within 7 days) or passes a final order in Form RFD-06. The refund is credited to your bank account within 60 days of the complete application.
⏳
2 Years — Maximum Time to Claim GST Refund
Form RFD-01 must be filed within 2 years from the relevant date. For exports: date of export. For excess payment: date of payment. For inverted duty: end of the financial year in which ITC accumulated. Miss this and the refund is lost permanently.
