No. Get refund from Central Excise. Deposit GST dues separately.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

GST liability cannot be adjusted against Central Excise duty refund. Both are different law.

[YAGAY and SUN]

However, prorevenue people may deny such refund and will try to adjust the same. 

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

At any cost it could not be adjusted.

[YAGAY and SUN]

Sir, It was a joke of the day. 

[KASTURI SETHI]

Dear Sir, Life is poison without humour. Humour is spice of life. Suchlike environment is required to release the day to day stress of life.

AI Summary

GST liability cannot be offset against Central Excise duty refunds; refunds and GST obligations remain separately payable.
Contributors agree that GST liability cannot be set off against a refund payable under the Central Excise Act because they arise under different laws; taxpayers should pursue the Central Excise refund and discharge GST dues separately, though revenue officials may in practice attempt administrative adjustments.
