GSTN enables Option to withdraw Nil Refund application on GST portal

The Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) enabled the option to withdraw Nil Refund applications on the Goods and Service Tax (GST) portal.
A ‘Nil’ refund claim was filed by numerous registered persons for a certain period of time in form GST RFD-01A/RFD-01 on a common portal. Many of them filed it unintentionally despite the fact that they were eligible for claim for that particular period and under that particular category.
Presently, the unintentional selection of ‘Nil’ refund filing and once a ‘Nil’ refund claim has been filed for a period under a particular category, re-filing the refund claim for that opted period under that particular category can not be done on the common portal.
Consequently, many registered persons requested for a mechanism that will allow them to re-file the refund claim for the period and the category under which the NIL refund claim was inadvertently filed initially.
Therefore, the GSTN had decided to overcome this issue by enabling the option to withdraw Nil Refund applications on the Goods and Service Tax (GST) portal which will ensure the uniform implementation of the provision of Law.
