Refund Application Process Under GST
The refund application has to be made in Form RFD-01 (to be certified by a Chartered Accountant) within a period of 2 years from the relevant date.” This relevant date is different for different scenarios.
1. When the goods are exported through air or sea, then relevant date shall be the date on which such ship or aircraft leaves India.
2. When the goods are carried by a land vehicle, then relevant date shall be the date when the goods cross the land frontier of the country
3. When goods are sent through post, then relevant date shall be the date of despatch of goods from the Post Office.
4. When the supply includes services, and when the same is completed before receipt of payment, then relevant date shall be the payment receipt date.
Once the application made, an acknowledgement in Form RFD-02 will be auto-generated for future references and sent across through an email and an SMS. In case the system finds some deficiencies in the refund application, then Form RFD-03 shall be sent to the taxpayer to correct his application.
