Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common GST query regarding claiming refunds for excess tax paid due to credit notes issued in a subsequent financial year. The user, registered in Gujarat with sales in Maharashtra, issued a credit note for FY 19-20 sales in FY 20-21, leading to a negative value issue in GSTR-3B. The consensus is that a refund for excess tax paid is indeed claimable under the law, as no government can collect more tax than authorised. Alternatively, the excess tax can be adjusted against future sales in subsequent months.

Either you adjust it with further sales in subsequent month or you claim refund.

Refund can be claimed under Excess payment of tax

Sir 

Under which section or rule we have eligible for refund?

 

 

By action of law itself. No government can collect tax more than what is authorised by law.

Therefore they will have to return it.

You can carry forward this amount in the next month till it is completely netted off against sales
