you wont get refund of this amount separately.
The credit can be claimed before earlier of 30th November of the next financial year and the date of filing the annual returns in form GSTR-9 relating to that financial year.
You can claim input credit only against a sales invoice. So filing nil return wont serve any purpose here. After the above mentioned dates, the input credit too will become ineligible

1. No. Don't file Nil return if You have purchase input tax as per Your query. File GSTR 3b with the said Input Tax. It's can't be claim as refund. ... 2. You can utilise this ITC in Your future Sales.....
(Once You avail the ITC through GSTR 3b then it will utilise any of the future returns. It's can't be lapsed.)

Refer the section, It's without claim through return. Not for balance credits in Electronic Credit Ledger. Electronic Credit Ledger Balance not lapsed and it can be use future business sales.
