Quick Summary
Under CGST Rule 90, a GST officer must issue an acknowledgement (RFD-02) or a deficiency memo (RFD-03) within 15 days of receiving your GST refund application. If the application is in order, you should receive the RFD-02 within this timeframe. If you haven't received either within 15 days, you may need to follow up, potentially by filing an 'Intimation on account of Refund not received'.

As per Rule 90 of CGST Rfd02 must be issue with 15 days of filing of application for refund .
Acknowledgement in Form GST RFD02 is to be issued within 15Days from the date of Application of Refund if, application is in order.

Else, Deficiency Memo to be issued in RFD03

Should I call the GST officer directly regarding this or file the "Intimation on account of Refund not received" in GST portal? The GST officer in my area seems clueless and seems like doesn't know the rules/time limits.
