Section 54(3) deals with refund of balance lying in ECL (Electronic Credit Ledger). Refund of unutilized ITC credit will be allowed under following cases only:

Zero rated supplies:

Export of goods and services under bond or Letter of undertaking (LUT), without payment of IGST

Supply of goods or services or both to SEZ developer or a SEZ unit.

Inverted duty structure (i.e rate of GST on Inputs are higher than that on output) (other than nil rated or fully exempt supplies), (excluding notified supplies for which unutilized ITC is not allowed)

Refund claim from ECL can be permitted as the condition prescribed in section 54 of CGST Act .

Note : Now purchase invoice not be submitted manually , infact the invoice which are not autopopulated in GSTR 2A need to be digitally uploaded.

You may refer Circular 125/44/2019 GST f
