Jai Jinendra! 🙏
Regarding refund of VAT security after completion of one year, here’s the usual practice under VAT laws (including Maharashtra VAT):
Key Points:
Refund of VAT Security Deposit:
Generally, when a dealer surrenders their VAT registration or their business closes down, the VAT department refunds the security deposit.
The security deposit is held as a safeguard for any pending tax liability or dues.
Holding Period:
Many state VAT laws specify that the security deposit is refundable after the completion of one year from the date of deposit or after the closure/surrender of the VAT registration.
This period ensures no outstanding dues or penalties arise against the dealer.
Claim Process:
The dealer must file a refund application with the VAT department, often along with a No-Dues Certificate or a clearance certificate from the VAT department confirming all liabilities are settled.
The department may verify accounts before processing the refund.
Reference in Maharashtra VAT Act:
While the Maharashtra VAT Act may not explicitly mention the time period in every section, departmental practice and circulars generally follow this one-year holding period.
You can refer to Maharashtra VAT rules and circulars or consult your jurisdictional VAT officer for specific procedures.
Summary:
Yes, VAT security deposit refund is allowed, typically on surrender or closure.
Refund is generally processed after one year, provided all dues are cleared.
You need to submit an application along with clearance/no-dues certificate.
Consult your local VAT office or check the specific state VAT rules for exact procedures.
