There are two options available with a dealer to claim refunds:

• 

Refund procedures in case of Option 1

Refund application has to filed claiming the ITC paid on procurement of goods.

Refund procedures in case of Option 2

 There is no need to file refund application (GST RFD-01) separately. The shipping bill filed by the exporter is sufficient to claim refund. The law specifies that shipping bill is to be considered as a refund claim on satisfying following two conditions:

1. A person carrying the export goods should file an export manifest; and
2. Applicant should have filed the returns GSTR-3 or GSTR-3B appropriately.

 Once the above two documents are filed appropriately, the refund is processed by the department.
