Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how to reclaim GST paid in excess of the actual liability for FY 2017-18. The client declared and paid Rs. 3000 in GSTR-3B, but their actual liability was only Rs. 2000. The core question is how to claim the Rs. 1000 overpayment, as it doesn't appear in either the cash or credit ledger due to utilisation against the declared liability. Options discussed include applying for a refund via Form GST RFD-01 within two years of the relevant date, or potentially offsetting the excess against future liabilities in FY 2018-19.
