Refund of Pre Deposit After Partial Favorable Order Comm (A)

Date 01 Oct 2026

Proportionate pre-deposit refund may follow final relief on one issue while the remaining dispute proceeds in appeal.
Proportionate GST pre-deposit refund may be claimed for an issue resolved in the assessee's favour at the first appellate stage, even where a further appeal continues on another issue. The refund is limited to the pre-deposit attributable to the resolved issue, provided the relief has attained finality and is not under departmental challenge. The remaining pre-deposit stays linked to the surviving dispute. The claim should include the appellate order, pre-deposit proof, and an issue-wise computation. (AI Summary)

We have received favorable order from commissioner (A) for one issue and for another issue no 2 the order is negative.

Assess want to file GSTAT appeal for issue no 2 so for issue no.1 can assess file refund of proportionate pre deposit?

Where Commissioner (Appeals) allows Issue No. 1 but confirms Issue No. 2, and the assessee proposes to appeal only Issue No. 2 before GSTAT, the assessee can claim refund of the proportionate pre-deposit attributable to Issue No. 1, provided that relief has attained finality and the Department has not challenged it.

The pre-deposit relating to Issue No. 2 should remain attributable to the surviving dispute and be considered for the GSTAT appeal requirements.

The recent Bombay High Court decision in IBM India Pvt. Ltd. v. Union of India - 2026 (8) TMI 1848 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT (28.08.2026) supports refund of pre-deposit corresponding to the demand/issue dropped by the first appellate authority, even where the assessee pursues further appeal on the surviving issue.

The refund claim should be supported by the appellate order, pre-deposit proof and a clear issue-wise computation.

Answer is YES. Refund of pre-deposit on proportionate basis cannot be refused. Pre-deposit is always of tax in dispute.

Please note that the department may file appeal with GSTAT. The department must have either Stay Order against the Order-in-Appeal or sanction refund claim of pre-deposit on proportionate basis.

No other option with the department.
