GST EXTRA PAID CLAIM

we are a composition tax payer who are in to manufacturing. By mistake while filing quarterly returns our accountant used enter the turnover in 2% slab where as we should have paid only 1% in.

This happened for more than 6 to 7 quarters. How to claim this extra tax that we have wrongly paid.

Quick Summary
A manufacturing business operating under the composition scheme mistakenly paid 2% GST instead of the correct 1% for several quarters. The advice given is to amend the relevant quarterly returns (GSTR-4) and then file a refund application using Form RFD-01 through the GSTN portal. This refund can be claimed within two years of the excess payment. It's important to check if the excess amount is reflected in the Electronic Credit Ledger or if it was adjusted against incorrect liabilities.

As per my view, you can file refund application for excess tax paid.
You need to amend all the returns in current month.

The balance reflecting in the Electronic Credit Ledger(ECL) can be claimed as a refund by submitting a refund application. Form RFD-01 can be filed through the GSTN Portal. The said refund can be claimed within 2 years of the excess payment. 

Whether in your case, the extra amount is reflecting in ECL or the same has been adjusted against the wrong liabilities shown in the GSTR 4 filed?

In case of GSTR 3B if the same has been wrong filed, then we can adjust the liability figure in the next month manually.
