Dear All,

We are engaged in Export of Goods and we want to claim refund of Unutilised Input Tax Credit as we did not charge any IGST.

Time limit mentioned in the Law is at end of any Tax Period.

But we did not claim during FY 2017-18.

Can we claim refund of total unutilised ITC for the said year at a time, if so whether it should be done before filing Annual Return or after filing Annual Return.

Please clarify the same.

Section 54(1)-Any person claiming refund of any tax and interest, if any, paid on such tax or any other amount paid by him, may make an application before the expiry of two years from the relevant date in such form and manner as may be prescribed:

Expl 2(e)-Relevant date in the case of refund of unutilised input tax credit under sub-section (3), the end of the financial year in which such claim for refund arises;

Thus for F.Y. 2017-18 you can make refund claim application upto date 30/3/2020. So it can be claimed before or after filing Annual return.
