GST Refund for the FY 18-19 can be filed now?

There's a question about whether it's possible to file a GST refund application for the Financial Year 2018-19, as the usual deadline has passed. While some suggest it might be technically possible to file, the general consensus is that such applications are likely to be rejected by the department due to exceeding the statutory 2-year limitation period for filing refunds. Justification for a delayed filing might be considered, but the chances of success are slim.
