Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the last date to claim GST refunds for unutilised Input Tax Credit (ITC) on goods exported without payment of tax for the Financial Year 2017-18. Generally, claims must be filed within two years from the relevant date. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, specific compliance deadlines falling between 20th March 2020 and 29th June 2020 were extended to 30th June 2020, as per Circular 137/07/2020 GST and Notification 35/2020 CT.
The GST law
requires that every claim for refund is to be filed within 2
years from the relevant date. So in the case of Exports made in FY 17-18, refund should be filed till FY 19-20.
As per my opinion, there is no time grant in this case due to Covid-19 pandemic.
As per Section 54(1) it's Application for refund can be file before expiry of 2 years from relevant date .
Yes grace time period is being extended in this case due Covid-19 pandemic. As per Circular 137/07/2020 GST , under s.no. 6 , the timeline for any compliances required as per Sub-section (1) of Section 54 falls during the period from 20/3/2020 to 29/6/2020 the same has been extended to 30/6/2020. (Can refer Notification 35/2020 CT)
Hence if expiry of 2year falling between the said period be furnished till 30/6/2020
