A taxpayer applied for a GST refund in November 2019 due to a wrong transfer to CGST/SGST instead of IGST. The application is still pending with the assessing officer, and the taxpayer is concerned about potential interest on the amount after 60 days. They are seeking guidance on whether to file a PMT-9 form, if they should await the officer's decision, and if interest will be paid by the government if PMT-9 is filed. Previous advice suggested not using PMT-09 for cash ledger excess and approaching the officer directly, but the taxpayer faces challenges due to the lockdown and issues with the online application being received.
