Refund claim rejection must state specific reasons and unjust enrichment findings before crediting amounts to welfare fund. Adjudicating authorities must give specific, adequate reasons on each aspect when rejecting a refund claim, addressing merits and time-bar issues pointwise. If a claim is otherwise admissible but payment is precluded by unjust enrichment, the authority must record written findings and direct the eligible amount to the Consumer Welfare Fund. A refund may be granted only after admissibility on merits, timeliness, and a favourable unjust enrichment determination.
