We filed GST Refund Application of Cash Ledger Balance.

But, Notice has been Issued "Final Return" Not filed after Cancellation of GST Registration by Tax Payer & has been Rejected.

"Since, you have not filed the final return i.e., GSTR-10 within the prescribed time limit, Refund is liable to be rejected"

Query:
If we file now Final Return, we can apply & get the GST Refund of Cash Ledger Balance.

Is there any Time Limit to apply for GST Refund Application

Please, tell

Quick Summary

A taxpayer applied for a GST refund from their cash ledger, but the application was rejected because their final return (GSTR-10) was not filed after cancelling their GST registration. While there's generally no time limit to claim a refund from the cash ledger, the rejection is linked to the missing final return. The advice suggests filing the GSTR-10 now and reapplying for the refund, though consulting the jurisdictional officer is recommended due to the cancellation.

No time limit for refund from cash ledger.
But since you have applied for cancellation and order is also received there might be some problem.
Meet your jurisdiction officer.
