18 July 2018 We are 100% Export Sales Organisation.
We are making GST Refund Application on GST Portal in Form GST RFD-01A.
In one month (Feb-2017) we do not have any Sale but there is purchase in that month and we paid GST on it and now want to claim ITC of the same.

As we have to file GST Refund Application month wise. We have to mentiond the "Adjusted Total Turnover" & "Turnover of zero rated supplies of goods and services".

In My case (For Feb-2017) the Turnover is Nil. and If i enter Nil 'Zero' amount in Adjusted Total turnover then i am not able to claim ITC in Feb-2017.

Please guide me how to claim ITC in a month when there is no any sale & only purchase is there.

18 July 2018 Hello Suresh,

You may put Re.1 as your turnover in that month and file the RFD 01A, online. while you file the supporting documents to the department, physically, submit a letter explaining the whole situation and reason for declaring turnover as Re. 1 in that particular month.
The above state issue is a technical glitch in the GST portal and due to this glitch, the department should not stop the rightful refund of the assessees.

23 July 2018 Hello Sumith Sir,

I tried to make refund application by mentioning sales amount Rs. 1/- But it is not submitting. Error is " Statement -3 not uploaded".

Without uploading statement 3 we are unable to file Refund Application.

Also, we can not keep statement 3 blank and create json file.

What can be the Salution ?
