Recover Your GST Cash — Faster, Cleaner, Without Rejection
GST refunds are available in several situations — exporters who pay IGST on exports, exporters who claim refund of accumulated ITC under the LUT route, businesses where ITC has accumulated due to inverted duty structure (input tax rate higher than output tax rate), excess tax paid by mistake, refund of tax paid under wrong head, and refunds in special economic zones. Claiming a GST refund involves filing a formal application (RFD-01) on the GST portal with supporting documents, followed by officer review and sanction.
The GST refund process is time-bound — the department must acknowledge within 15 days and sanction within 60 days (subject to extensions and provisional refunds). However, in practice, refund applications are frequently rejected for documentation deficiencies, incorrect calculations, or non-matching GSTR data. A rejected refund means restarting the process, delaying your cash flow significantly.
VITTAX's GST refund specialists prepare and file meticulous refund applications with all required documents and calculations, track the status proactively, respond to any officer queries (RFD-08), and follow up until the refund is credited to your bank account.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a GST refund take?
The law mandates acknowledgement within 15 days and sanction within 60 days from the date of complete application. In practice, simple export refunds (IGST route) are processed faster (15–30 days), while ITC refunds and inverted duty refunds can take 60–90 days. VITTAX ensures applications are complete and follows up proactively.
What is the inverted duty structure refund?
When you buy inputs at a higher GST rate than the rate at which you sell your products (e.g., buying raw material at 18% and selling finished goods at 5%), ITC accumulates and cannot be utilized. In such cases, you can claim a refund of the accumulated ITC under Section 54(3) of the CGST Act.
