Here are some important nuances to enhance your understanding:
1. Who’s Eligible?
Refund is available when GST on inputs exceeds GST on outputs, leading to ITC accumulation—except where outputs are fully exempt or supplier has claimed duty drawback/IGST refund.

2. How Is Refund Calculated?
Under Rule 89(5), it’s:
Refund = (Inverted Turnover × Net ITC ÷ Adjusted Turnover) – (Tax on inverted supply × Net ITC ÷ ITC on inputs + services)
The formula was updated on 5 July 2022 to include input services.
