According to the GST laws, a refund can be claimed for unutilized GST compensation cess, but there are certain conditions and restrictions that apply. In your client's case, where they have procured coal for personal consumption and are unable to set off the availed cess with output tax due to ITC restrictions, they may be eligible for a refund of the unutilized cess amount. However, to confirm this, we need to consider the following: 1. Is the client registered under GST? 2. Is the procurement of coal for personal consumption or business use? 3. Has the client filed the required GST returns and reported the unutilized cess amount? 4. Does the client meet the eligibility criteria for a refund under the GST laws? Assuming your client meets the necessary conditions, they can claim a refund of the unutilized cess amount by filing Form GST RFD-01A (Application for Refund) and providing the required documentation.
