Refund for the period of 2017-18

[Raja Krishnan]

Dear Experts

During the COVID-19, our Refund application was rejected by the department for the year of 2017-2018 on March 2021 because of time bar. As per the Notification 09/2023-Central Tax dated 31.03.2023 (as amended Notification No.13/2022 dated 05.07.2022) my thought is that we will be eligible to apply for our Refund application for the period of 2017-2018.

So I kindly request you to advice, if any chance to get the above refund for the period of 2017-18 & 2018-19.
