Important Information Regarding GST Refund

Eligibility Criteria for GST Refunds

Not everyone can claim a GST refund—it’s reserved for registered taxpayers who’ve paid more than required or qualify under specific rules. You can’t have passed the excess tax onto customers (except for exports or ITC claims), and your filings must be in order. Exporters and SEZ suppliers enjoy special perks, making refunds a game-changer. We assess your eligibility upfront, ensuring you qualify before you start.

Time Limits for Refund Claims

Timing is everything. You’ve got 2 years from the relevant date—like when you paid the tax or exported goods—to file your refund claim. Miss it, and that money’s gone for good. Our team tracks these deadlines for you, so you never lose out on what’s yours.
Refund Process Timeline

How long until you see your money? Provisional refunds for exports hit within 7 days (90% of the claim), while final refunds are due within 60 days of filing. Delays can happen with scrutiny or errors, but we streamline every step—filing, tracking, and follow-ups—to get your funds faster.

Interest on Delayed Refunds

If the GST department takes longer than 60 days, you’re entitled to 6% interest on your refund (9% for appeal delays). It’s a bonus for your patience, and we ensure it’s calculated and claimed correctly, adding extra value to your refund.
Refund Tracking and Status Updates

Wondering where your refund stands? Track it on the GST portal with your ARN, or let us do the heavy lifting. We provide real-time updates—via email, SMS, or our dashboard—so you’re never left guessing about your money.
Appeals for Denied Refunds

If your refund’s rejected, don’t give up—you can appeal within 3 months to the Appellate Authority. It’s your second shot at recovery, and we’re here to fight it. From drafting appeals to representing you, we turn denials into approvals.
