If you return a purchased item, you should be entitled to a refund of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid. The shopkeeper can adjust this by issuing a credit note against their next sale, rather than keeping the GST amount. The seller's refusal to refund the GST is incorrect, and they should consult a tax advisor for clarification.
i have purchase machine worth 20k and paid 28per gst on it. now i want to return the Machine,shopkeeper says me that he will only return Rs 20k and he will not pay me the gst amount as he has already submitted gst return. is it the right process.

He can reduce the liability in his next sale via credit note. His contention of not returning gst is not correct. But some vendors do such thing.

This practice is used by sellers to reduce sales returns. Contention of Seller is not right ask him to consult his tax consultant & get clarified
