As per section 16(2) of the IGST Act, credit of input tax may be availed for making zero rated supplies, notwithstanding that such supply is an exempt supply.
And As per Circular 45/19/2018 :
Registered person making zero rated supply for Exempted goods shall be eligible to claim refund of Unutilized Input when he either makes supply of goods or services or both under bond or LUT or makes such supply on payment of integrated tax.
You can claim refund by filing RFD 01 online on portal.

You should file Form RFD-01 monthly for refund claims related to zero-rated supplies and inverted duty structures. However, if your turnover is less than Rs. 1.5 crore and you've opted to file quarterly returns, you can file RFD-01 quarterly instead of monthly. If the amount is not significant or you don't mind waiting until the end of the year, annual filings can be more convenient, requiring less administrative effort. Ensure that all your GST returns are up-to-date (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B) before filing RFD-01, as any non-compliance could delay or even reject the refund claim.
