Currently there is no area based exemption in GST. The senior officials of Govt have recently stated that they are developing a mechanism to allow refund of CGST to the assessees who are currently availing area based exemption.
However they have clarified that they will only provide refund of CGST and as regards SGST states will have to formulate their own policy.

For areas in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh that are notified as exempted under the Excise Exemption Notification (such as Notification No. 50/2003 C.E.), there are specific GST provisions and procedures to consider. Here’s a detailed explanation:
### **1. **GST Provisions for Exempted Areas**
#### **Exemptions Under GST:**
- **Excise Exempted Areas:** Under the GST regime, the concept of excise exemptions for specific regions is not directly applicable. However, certain states, including Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, have specific exemptions and provisions under GST to account for the historical excise exemptions.
- **Notification No. 50/2003 C.E.:** This notification relates to excise duty exemptions in certain areas. Under GST, these regions may have specific exemptions or reduced tax rates that need to be checked against the latest GST notifications and circulars.
#### **Special Provisions:**
- **Uttarakhand & Himachal Pradesh:** These states have been given special provisions due to their geographical and economic conditions. For instance, they may benefit from specific exemptions or lower rates for certain goods or services.
### **2. **Refund Procedure**
#### **Refund of Input Tax Credit (ITC):**
- **Refund Procedure for Exempted Areas:** If you are dealing with exempted areas under GST, you might be eligible for a refund of the input tax credit (ITC) that cannot be utilized due to the exemption status. This is similar to how refunds are handled in regions like J&K.
- **Procedure for Refund:** The refund process involves:
- **Filing Refund Application:** File a refund application under **Form GST RFD-01**. Ensure that you provide necessary documentation and justification for the refund claim.
- **Verification:** The tax authorities will verify the claim and the documentation provided.
- **Refund Order:** If the claim is approved, a refund order will be issued.
#### **Specific Circulars/Notifications:**
- **Circulars:** Refer to the specific GST circulars and notifications issued by the CBEC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) or your state GST authorities for detailed guidelines on how to handle refunds and exemptions for these areas.
- **Notification 56/2018-Central Tax (Rate):** This notification provides the list of exempted goods and services and may contain relevant details on provisions applicable to specific regions.
### **3. **GST Rates and Exemptions:**
#### **GST Rate Notifications:**
- **Reduced Rates:** Certain goods or services may be subjected to reduced GST rates or exemptions. For example, goods that were previously exempt from excise duty might have a specific GST rate applicable.
- **Check Latest Updates:** Always refer to the latest GST rate notifications and updates to ensure compliance with current provisions. These rates and exemptions are periodically revised.
### **4. **Documentation and Compliance:**
- **Maintain Records:** Ensure that you maintain thorough records and documentation related to your transactions, including invoices, exemption certificates, and refund claims.
- **Consult GST Experts:** Given the complexity of GST provisions for exempted areas, it’s advisable to consult with GST experts or tax consultants who are familiar with the specific requirements for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
### **Summary**
For excise-exempted areas in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, GST provisions will involve understanding the current exemptions and reduced rates under GST, as well as following the refund procedure for any unutilized input tax credits. Always refer to the latest notifications, circulars, and consult with professionals to ensure compliance with GST regulations.
