REFUND ON ACCOUNT OF ITC ACCUMULATED DUE TO INVERTED TAX STRUCTURE or 2. ANY OTHER (SPECIFY)

As you said, the output liability is 3% and input is 18% and due to which the ECL is getting accumulated. Therefore, you could proceed with Inverted duty structure refund.

Inverted duty refund is allowed only for difference in gst rates for goods and not for services.So in my view, you can not claim ITC refund.
