Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the procedure for claiming GST refunds when input tax credit accumulates in your ledger, particularly due to changes in tax structures or inverted duty situations. It explains that refunds are generally not permissible if the accumulation is solely due to a change in GST rates on the same goods, as per Circular 135/05/2020. The key condition for claiming a refund under an inverted duty structure is when the tax rate on inputs is genuinely higher than on output supplies.
As per Circular 135/05/2020 GST , no you cannot claim Refund of Unutilised ITC on account of IDS where the inversion is due to change in the GST rate on the same goods.
As when the rate changes for any goods at the point of time the Input & output rate of said goods is same.
& in case of IDS in term of sub-section (3) of Section 54 of CGST Act the refund can be claimed where the Credit is accumulated on account of RATE OF TAX ON INPUT BEING HIGHER THAN RATE OF TAX ON OUTPUT SUPPLIES.
