One of our clients have incorrectly considered an inter state transaction as intra state and paid CGST SGST instead of IGST. Later , upon finding the error we had paid IGST amount seperately in subsequent GSTR 3B. However , upon filing for refund of CGST and SGST paid ;the offline utility available in their login asks for Order date and Order number . We have not received any order .
How do we now apply for refund of the extra CGST and SGST paid( Kindly note we had already paid IGST in subsequent month)?
Client Faces Refund Hurdles for Wrongly Paid CGST & SGST; Considers Offsetting Against Future Liabilities Under CGST Act A client mistakenly paid CGST and SGST for an interstate transaction instead of IGST. After correcting the error by paying IGST in a subsequent filing, they sought a refund for the CGST and SGST. However, the refund utility required an order date and number, which were not available. One respondent suggested downloading a fresh utility, another advised filing a physical application under specific CGST Act sections, and a third mentioned offsetting the excess payment against future liabilities, noting the delay in government refund disbursements.
