Refund application to be submitted in Form RFD–01 and then the authority verifies the details and documents submitted and if he is satisfied that the all supportings to refund are correct then refund order will be issued Form RFD-06.

[Vijay kumar]

As per Section 54, CA certificate is required when the refund claim is above 2 lakhs and does not pertain to ZRS, to disprove unjust enrichment .. Even if the claim is arising due to appeal, the appellate order could be a remand order keeping all issues open, particularly when rejection took place in the original proceedings without following PNJ or this issue was not verified earlier.
