GST Refund Claims

Stuck GST refund? We prepare, file and follow up your RFD-01 so your money actually reaches your bank account.

Overview

A GST refund lets you reclaim tax that has piled up in your electronic cash or credit ledger — most commonly from exports, an inverted duty structure (inputs taxed higher than your output), or excess balance paid by mistake. The claim is filed in Form RFD-01 with supporting statements, and the law requires the department to process eligible refunds within 60 days.

In practice, refunds get stuck on documentation gaps, mismatched invoices, or the wrong refund category. GovYapar files it correctly the first time and chases the ARN until the credit lands.

FAQs

Common questions

The law requires eligible refunds to be processed within 60 days of a complete application. Delays usually come from documentation issues — which we pre-empt by filing correctly.

Yes — exporters can either export under LUT (without paying IGST) and claim unutilised ITC, or pay IGST and claim that back. We advise the better route for you.

When your inputs are taxed at a higher GST rate than your finished goods, credit accumulates. That accumulated ITC can be refunded, subject to the prescribed formula.

A deficiency memo (RFD-03) means something was missing. We correct and re-file promptly so the clock restarts cleanly.
