Due to legal restriction on the set-off of IGST ITC in CGST and SGST liability, I could not adjust it fully in my monthly GSTR3B filing and had to pay an additional amount towards SGST.  The electronic credit register in my case thus is left with unadjusted an excess in the CGST account by Rs 1 lakh.  I am now planning to shut down the business.  How can I claim a refund of the excess which could not be set off against the CGST/SGST liability, for which I had to pay extra in the SGST account?
