Quick Summary
The requirement for a Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate for GST refunds under an inverted duty structure depends on the claim amount. While Rule 89(2)(h) suggests a certificate is needed for claims over £2 lakhs, Section 54(8)(b) of the CGST Act, read with its proviso, indicates no certificate is required for inverted duty structure refunds. This creates ambiguity, but the latter section's exemption for inverted duty structures appears to override the general requirement.

Yes it is required ......

Yes, as per Rule 89(2)(h) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Rules, 2017, a Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate is required to be submitted along with the refund application for claiming a refund of the accumulated input tax credit under the inverted duty structure. The requirement for a CA certificate is applicable when the amount of refund claimed is more than Rs. 2 lakhs

CA Certificate not required. As per Rule 89(2)(m) is qualified by proviso as per which no certificate is required for the refund claimed u/s 54(8) of CGST Act, 2017- 

Provided that a certificate is not required to be furnished in respect of cases covered under clause (a) or clause (b) or clause (c) or clause (d) or clause (f) of subsection (8) of section 54

Section 54(8)(b) refers to case of Inverted Duty Structure.

Therefore no certificate is required for the refund under Inverted Duty Structure
