Advance Ruling Authority declined jurisdiction to rule on the manner of claiming refund of accumulated input tax credit under the inverted duty structure and on refunds asserted as 'any other ground', holding that questions of quantification and sanction of refund fall within refund administration and are not among the categories listed under section 97(2). Applying section 95(a) read with section 97(2), the Authority found the application outside its statutory scope and rejected it as inadmissible, refusing to entertain advance ruling on refund quantification or sanction.
