In the month of July-2017, while making the payment Challan, we had inadvertently selected CESS instead of SGST, so again we have generated another challan and paid the correct SGST amount.
Is it possible to get the refund of Cess (showing un-adjusted Cess in Electronic Credit Ledger), which we have wrongly paid in the month of July-2017
Refund Possible for CESS Mistakenly Paid Instead of SGST in July 2017, Claimable via GSTR-3 Return Portal. In a discussion forum about Goods and Services Tax (GST), a user inquired about obtaining a refund for CESS mistakenly paid instead of SGST in July 2017. The user corrected the error by making an additional payment for SGST. Respondents confirmed that a refund is possible, with one noting it can be claimed during the filing of the GSTR-3 return and through the common portal. Another respondent emphasized the importance of allowing taxpayers to rectify such errors. The consensus was that a refund is admissible. (AI Summary)
