Sanction of pending IGST refund claims where the records have not been transmitted from the GSTN to DG Systems -reg.

IGST refund validation: processing permitted upon CA certification or reconciliation payment and record transmission by GSTN.

A targeted interim procedure allows conditional sanction of IGST refunds where GSTN has not transmitted records to Customs EDI due to GSTR 1/GSTR 3B mismatches. For exporters with no short payment, Customs will list exporters, GSTN will transmit records and exporters must submit a Chartered Accountant certificate to Customs and the jurisdictional GST office certifying no discrepancy. For short payment cases, exporters must make payment to liquidate the shortfall, submit proof (and where required a CA certificate), give an undertaking to return incorrect refunds, and compliance will trigger GSTN transmission. All processed refunds are subject to post refund audit and jurisdictional verification.
