This discussion addresses how to claim a refund for tax deposited under the wrong head in GSTR-3B for FY 17-18, when the correct tax was paid later via DRC-03. It clarifies that the time limit for refund depends on when the correct tax was paid, referencing Circular 162/18/2021-GST.

Where the payment of correct tax was done before 24.09.2021, then the last date would be 23.09.23.

Where the payment of correct taxes was done post 24.09.2021, then the last date would be 2 years from the date of payment.

Refer circular 162/18/2021-GST
