Excess GST paid in GSTR3B in 17-18

Credit note was not erroneously not taken into account while paying GST for March 2018. Excess IGST of 40k was paid. Can we apply for refund of it now after filing the annual return?

Quick Summary
If you paid excess IGST in your GSTR3B for the 2017-18 financial year, you can generally claim a refund. However, the process and eligibility depend on whether the excess amount remains in your cash ledger or has been adjusted in subsequent returns. Proper documentation is crucial for a successful refund claim.

Yes.. You can claim refund. But proper documentation is necessary.
@ Tide.,

If You are wrongly paid and it's balanced in Your cash Ledger then You can claim refund...

The balance isn't in the cash ledger

 Already adjusted in GSTR3B of September 2017. Can I still get refund?

Even if the balance isn't still in the cash ledger? How do we claim refund?

- If Balance not available then no way for claim refund...
- If You are correctly rectified/adjusted in subsequent months then no problem...
- In case you are not rectified the mistake then rectify the mistake in subsequent months...

Note : if correctly adjusted no issues.
