Quick Summary

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that a refund application was not time-barred. The court considered a recent notification which excludes the period from 1st March 2020 to 28th February 2022 when calculating the limitation period for filing refund applications under the CGST Act. Consequently, the matter was sent back to the assessing authority for a fresh review.
