GST refund processing accelerated: special drive to clear pending refund applications and automated GSTN-to-Customs transmission. CBIC has launched a Special Refund Fortnight to clear GST refund applications filed on or before 30.04.2018, covering IGST on exports, unutilized ITC and other refunds in FORM GST RFD-01A. GSTN-held refunds, including cases where exports were misdeclared as domestic supplies, will be transmitted to the Customs EDI system for automatic processing and sanction if no other errors exist. Refund applications will not be processed unless a copy with supporting documents is submitted to the jurisdictional tax office, and claimants with pending refunds should approach their jurisdictional authority.
