Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when you can claim a GST refund from your Electronic Credit Ledger. Generally, refunds are only possible for exporters or businesses operating under an inverted duty structure, where outward tax rates are lower than input tax rates. Simply having excess credit balance from purchases over sales doesn't automatically qualify for a refund under Section 54 of the CGST Act, especially if inputs aren't directly linked or if the excess is from input services and capital goods.

You can claim if you're either exporter or your supplies are under inverted duty structure.
