About this tool
- What it does
- Tells you which kind of GST refund fits your case (exports, inverted duty, excess balance, a wrong payment and so on) and the time limit that applies to it.
- The rule it rests on
- Refunds are governed by section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017: a claim is made in the prescribed form within the time that section allows, counted from the "relevant date" it defines for each kind of refund, with the statements and documents set by the CGST Rules, 2017. The time limits this tool shows come from approved rule rows, each with its own "last verified" line. Official source: CGST Act, 2017, section 54 (refund of tax)
