06 March 2017 Correct. It is 1 year from the date of export of service. So, should you consider the first invoice of the quarter. However, there are case laws which has held the time limit of 1 year is to be reckoned from the date of receipt of export proceeds.

06 March 2017 Check if the realised exchange is for the invoice which has been raised in that quarter..If it is so then 31 Dec 2016 is the last date for filing the refund application
