Refund of igst on export of goods with the payment of igst

Yes, Filing of GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 (including Table 6) should be deemed itself as application for Refund and there should not be any requirement further to Claim and to receive Refund of IGST on Export of Goods with the payment of IGST.

We contacted the concern Department / ward, and now they are suggesting to provide them Shipping Bill copies, HAWB, Invoice copy, Refund form and other formalities, all duly Sealed and Signed (in photocopy)

This is really pathetic and too much of burden or extra steps just to claim the Refund of IGST, where Govt. / Finance Ministry already informed that nothing should be required and asked to exporters to submit. And refund should be processed automatically.

Once really cannot take so much of follow up with their concern department, every now and then and with so much of formalities. Where nothing is still confirmed.

Can somebody suggest and guide please.

I filed all the GSTR 3Bs (Jul-Sep) within last date, as well as GSTR 1 for Jul and then GSTR 1 for Aug-Sep (all within date) too.

It is not feasible to follow up the manual process. Atleast when if the automatic process is not working the way it should, how can we be assured that even after taking approach with manual process, things will work smoothly and as expected. Also, it will surely take more than standard time with manual process. This is more tedious too as it requires lot of documentation and filing process again.

The Dept or concern person should only take the Shipping bill and Invoice NUMBERs alone (as this is what finally should be required where Refund has not processed normally and with Automatic process), as per the Govt. or Finance Ministry further updates.

They should then match on the basis of those numbers, and should process refund. Also, they should provide Acknowledgement of Receipt, which normally they avoids in manual work. And this is what again is making us afraid.

Lots of back and forth and visits for our CAs or ourselves will have to be made.

Really getting Fed up of this so-called flawless and smooth system. Not sure what is going on.

I posted couple of emails earlier in the month of Jul or Aug itself, and I received their response in the month of Nov-Dec. Almost after 3 and half months. This is their RESPONSE times. And that too, they only mentioned - "Your query has been resolved"

Without even asking and taking our prior consent, they shoots such email responses, where we can't even REPLY them. As their response comes from "NO REPLY" email too.

What a support

Yes, but many Exporters have started receiving refund. We really wonder, why such difference. Is Govt. or Departments not taking care of small Exporters. What is the point in following the policies and process then. When they are making False committments since beginning. Where the 7 day time-period of refund has gone, what they suggested earlier in one of their notifications, specially for Exporters. They talked about 90% of Refund within 7 days, but the fact is that 7 MONTHS are about to pass, but yet to see a single penny as a Refund.

Above all, they have started the  Self Service Portal, which again seems really having pathetic support. I have recently posted on Twitter for this with images, that shows too many loopholes in their New support system.
