Quick Summary
A manufacturer producing elastic products faces an inverted duty structure where input materials are taxed at 18% and the final product at 5%. They inquired about claiming a refund under the inverted duty provisions. While initially suggested as possible, it was clarified that HSN 5806 is specifically excluded from such refunds by a notification, blocking the claim.

Yes Akshat, Refund can be claimed under the inverted duty structure since the GST rate on input is more than output.

In case of any further queries, kindly mail me at casoravgupta @ gmail.com

Hi Sorav, the said HSN 5806 is specifically excluded via notification 56/30/2018. do you know any further clarification or circular for same.
No refund allowed as same is specifically blocked.

Akshat, the notification you refer states that the refund will be allowed prospectively from the applicability of the aforesaid notification.
