26 July 2025 Here’s a clear answer for your GST refund and cancellation query:

---

### Claiming Excess GST Paid Refund:

* If GST amount has been **deducted twice** from your bank account (i.e., excess payment), you can claim a refund of the excess amount.
* File **GST Refund application online** using **Form GST RFD-01**.
* This refund claim must be filed **within 2 years** from the relevant date (usually date of payment).
* Refund processing typically takes about **30 days** or more.

### Regarding Cancellation of GST Registration and Composition Scheme:

* Since **1st April 2019**, threshold limits for GST registration (normal) is Rs. 40 lakh for goods.

* If your turnover is below threshold, you may want to **cancel GST registration**.

* To claim refund of balance in the **Electronic Cash Ledger** before cancellation, you must:

* File all pending **returns up to the date of cancellation**.
* Submit **application for cancellation** through the GST portal.
* Refund of balance cash ledger amount can be claimed after cancellation is approved.

* There is **no fixed deadline** for cancellation, but refund claim should be within **2 years** of the relevant date.

* Make sure you comply with conditions of **composition scheme exit**, as refund and cancellation have certain procedural requirements.
