Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirement for a Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate when claiming GST refunds for supplies to Special Economic Zones (SEZs). If your refund claim exceeds £2 lakh, a CA certificate is mandatory as per Rule 89(2). This applies even if the refund arises from 'exports' to SEZs, which are now subject to the principle of unjust enrichment following an amendment in 2019.

Yes under Rule 89(2) , the CA certificate is required if Refund claim exceeds 2lac rupees

Thank you for your response. but the refund in my query is related to section 54(8)(c) isn't it sir?

No 

Your query related  to section 54(3) & proviso under subsection (4) r/w rule 89(1) & 89(2)(l)

Yes you are correct  the 'doctrine of unjust  enrichment "is not applicable upto the amount 2 lac but if it is exceeding,  then ca  certificate  is required. 

Note : from 1/2/2019 u/s 54(8)(a) the word  "Zero rated" has been substituted  by "Export" and Exports, thus with this amendment,  in case of refund claim arising out of supply  to Sez is also being brought  under principal of UNJUST ENRICHMENT
