Quick Summary

A user has claimed a GST refund from the wrong ledger, specifically the IGST ledger, when the balance was zero for the refund period. This action appears to contravene GST rules as outlined in circular 125. While the department has issued RFD 02, there's concern about potential rejection. The advice given is to withdraw the refund application and refile it correctly, as the portal may have allowed the incorrect filing due to a balance at the time of submission, not necessarily for the refund period itself.

Yes I am well aware of circular 125.

The thing is that if the portal allowed you to file with igst refund is the fact you had the balance at the time of filing refund and also at the end of the period for which the refund is claimed. But there was no IGST itc pertaining to the period for which refund is being claimed. Therefore it cannot be claimed.

Withdrawal of refund application is a new concept and it has been recently introduced. You can look into it.

And yes you can file again after withdrawal.
