Quick Summary
If your GSTR has been cancelled and you have an ITC balance in your Electronic Credit Ledger, it's generally not possible to claim a direct refund. Refunds are typically restricted to specific scenarios like inverted duty structures or exports. If you've claimed ITC on inputs, you'll likely need to reverse it, and any remaining balance may lapse. It's advisable to contact the GST department with your documentation to explore any potential avenues.

If you claimed itc on input you have to reverse the same and remaining shall be lapsed
Contact GST dept with supporting documents..You may get the refund

The ITC reflecting in the ECL will lapse. 

There is no way to claim refund now.

Refund of ITC can only be claimed under inverted duty structure and exports

Refund is allowed for export And inverted duty structure only. you have balance in credit ledger it means you have stock in business. if you sale ur goods you don't need to pay gst to government now. so you can't take refund.
