Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that Input Tax Credit (ITC) cannot be claimed as a refund when outward supplies are nil-rated or fully exempt. While ITC on taxable purchases (like cotton seeds with 5% tax) might accumulate, the first proviso to Section 54(3) of the CGST Act restricts refunds in such cases. Therefore, you cannot claim a refund for accumulated ITC on nil-rated sales and may need to reverse it.

Hi, no itc can claim on nil rated supplies.
You should reverse the ITC under section 17
Under the provisions of the first proviso to sub-section 3 of Section 54 of the CGST Act a registered person may claim refund of unutilised input credit where the credit has accumulated on account of rate of tax on inputs being higher than the rate of tax on outward supplies, OTHER THAN nil rated or fully exempt supplies.

Hence as your outward supply is nil rated cannot claim refund for accumulated ITC.
