GST Refund Services — Get Every Rupee You Are Owed, Without the Runaround
You exported goods. You paid IGST or accumulated ITC on inputs. The government owes you a refund. And yet — the money sits uncredited, the portal shows a deficiency memo, or the officer has asked for documents you already submitted twice. Sound familiar?
At Y M Shah & Co., GST refunds are one of our core specialities. We have processed refund claims worth crores of rupees for exporters, SEZ suppliers, inverted duty structure manufacturers, and service exporters across Gujarat. We know every procedural detail, every common objection, and exactly how to get your refund sanctioned — fast.
Who Is Eligible for a GST Refund?
- Exporters of goods and services (zero-rated supplies) — Export under LUT or with IGST payment; both qualify for full refund of ITC or IGST paid.
- Inverted Duty Structure businesses — Where GST rate on inputs is higher than on outputs (common in textiles, pharma, and agriculture).
- SEZ Developers and Units — Supplies to SEZs are zero-rated; ITC or IGST refund is available.
- Excess Tax Paid by Mistake — Refund of GST deposited under the wrong head or due to data entry errors.
- Deemed Exporters — Supplies to EOUs, international body-funded projects, or against advance authorisation.
Our GST Refund Process — Step by Step
Step 1: Eligibility Review & Gap Analysis
We review your export data, GSTR filings, shipping bills, BRC/FIRC statements, and ITC ledger to confirm eligibility and identify the full refundable amount. Many exporters are surprised to discover they have left significant unclaimed amounts from prior periods.
Step 2: Application Filing (RFD-01)
We prepare and file RFD-01 with all required annexures — shipping bills, GSTR-2A reconciliation, BRC statements, and invoice statements — cross-verified for accuracy before submission. This upfront diligence is what prevents deficiency memos from arising in the first place.
Step 3: Deficiency Memo Response (RFD-03)
If the GST officer issues a deficiency memo, we respond promptly with the missing documents and necessary legal clarifications. Our familiarity with the most common deficiency reasons means we resolve most memos within days, not weeks.
Step 4: Personal Hearing & Officer Follow-Up
We represent you at personal hearings before the GST Refund Officer and follow up proactively until the order is passed. Refund delays are often a matter of persistence — we handle that persistence for you.
Step 5: Appeal (RFD-09), Where Required
If a refund application is wrongly rejected, we file a detailed appeal before the GST Appellate Authority with legal arguments and applicable precedents. We have successfully overturned several rejection orders on appeal.
Common Reasons GST Refunds Are Rejected — And How We Prevent Them
- Mismatch between GSTR-1 and shipping bill data — we reconcile before filing
- BRC / FIRC not submitted or not linked to the GSTN portal — we verify all banking documents upfront
- LUT not filed or expired during the export period — we check LUT status before the claim
- Wrong refund category selected in RFD-01 — we select the correct category and statement type
- ITC claimed on ineligible credits — we identify and exclude blocked credits before filing
