FROM EDITOR'S DESK

 

 

The sentiments of businesses are improving and people are getting more and more accustomed to the new GST regime. We also saw a growth in the GDP which went over 6%. Simplification of the procedure is a must.
Confusion in other laws like RERA and FSSAI has not grabbed the attention of the Government as of now. The issues in these laws are also to be taken care of. Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration Laws are other fields where new professionals have to work hard as these are the most emerging sectors in the field of law. We will be organizing shortly, small seminars for young professionals on Intellectual Property Rights and other laws to spread awareness and knowledge. Please contact us at contact@ghiya.in

QUERIES ANSWERED

 

 

We have exported goods WITH payment of GST for July, August & September. How can we claim refund on the portal? The only option we see is to claim refund for exports WITHOUT payment of GST. - Mr. Sudhanshu

 

Answer: In our opinion, as per the Circular 17/17/2017-GST dt. 15.11.2017 the refund of IGST paid on Export is processed automatically and is transferred to the Bank Account of the taxpayer. Please refer to Entry 2.2 of the abovementioned circular.
The Press release by CBEC dt. 29.11.2017 may also be referred which prescribes prerequisites to claim refund. For sanction of refund, the exporter needs to file GSTR-3B and table 6A of GSTR-1 of the common portal and is required to file the shipping bill on Customs EDI system. Please ensure that there is no discrepancy in the information so furnished. The information regarding discrepancy is available on the ICEGATE portal and one can also contact the jurisdictional officer to check the errors committed in furnishing the returns and shipping bill.
