GST REFUND for F.Y. 2017-18 applied under "inverted tax duty" in June/July 2018.

In RFD-08 (at Aug'18) Refund for "input availed on capital goods" was "rejected" where as "input availed on raw material" was accepted.

ENTIRE money removed from electronic credit ledger during application of refund (Jun/July 18) was returned to our electronic credit ledger on Mar'19.

Refund accepted by department was also wrongly re-credited to our electronic credit ledger (Mar 19) along with the disallowed claim of input claimed via Capital goods instead of giving refund in our bank account.

Now we are not able to claim refund under inverted duty tax for 2017-18 as a refund application for a financial year under a particular head can only be claimed once.

Even officer is not being able to process the refund due to us as the file was erroneously rejected from his end in entirety.

Please advise the remedy available to us.

Regards,

Quick Summary

A business applied for a GST refund under the inverted duty structure for FY 2017-18. While part of the refund was accepted, the portion related to capital goods was mistakenly rejected. Crucially, the entire refund amount, including the rejected part, was wrongly re-credited to their electronic credit ledger instead of being paid to their bank account. This error prevents them from re-applying for the refund. They are seeking advice on remedies, including appeal procedures and time limits.
