GST refund is a process in which, registered taxpayers can claim excess amount if they paid more than the GST liability. They can claim after submitting a refund application with the necessary details in the GST portal.
The cash flow and working capital requirements of manufacturers and exporters could be adversely affected if a refund is delayed. As a result, one of the intentions of the implementation of GST is to ensure that the refund process is smoother so that manufacturers and exporters do not face issues due to delays. By ensuring that the refund process is facilitated quickly, tax administration becomes more effective.
The GST regime has provisions relating to refunds, and it aims at streamlining and standardizing the procedures about refunds under GST. Therefore, a standardized form has been created to make claims for refunds. The procedure for making claims can be completed online on time.
