It means that the IGST and cess a business pays on any exports are eligible for a refund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GST portal provides a <a href=\"https:\/\/rankmyapp.com\/user-friendly-basic-principles-and-how-to-do-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user-friendly platform<\/a> for refunding GST paid on exports. It applies to consumer products, product suites and vendor payments. There is no need to fill RFD-01.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 things you have to fill up to initiate the refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Table 6A in GSTR-1<\/strong>: It contains information about the shipping bill details such as vendor payments etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3.1 (b) of GSTR-3B<\/strong>: Here, you have to provide details about zero-rated supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The invoice data for payment of tax for exports under Table 6A of Form GSTR-1 must include the shipping bill number, the date on the shipping bill and the port code. You have to ensure that the IGST and cess under Table 3.1 of GSTR-3B are equal to or higher than the data under Table 6A and Table 6B of GSTR-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shipping bill is an important part of the refund application for payment of tax. The GST portal sends the details of supplies made in GSTR-1 to ICEGATE. It also sends a confirmation message about the fact that GSTR-3B was filed for the correct period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.old.icegate.gov.in\/Webappl\/Trade-Guide-on-Imports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customs department<\/a> will tally the information in GSTR-1 to the details in the shipping bill and Export General Manifest (EGM). After this, the refund is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICEGATE will share details about the refund with the GST portal after the refund is credited. The GST portal will send information about the refund to the taxpayer via SMS or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Fill Up RFD-01 for Different Types of GST Refunds?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-to-Fill-Up-RFD-01-for-Different-Types-of-GST-Refunds.png\" alt=\"How to Fill Up RFD-01 for Different Types of GST Refunds?\" class=\"wp-image-67216\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-to-Fill-Up-RFD-01-for-Different-Types-of-GST-Refunds.png 900w, https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-to-Fill-Up-RFD-01-for-Different-Types-of-GST-Refunds-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-to-Fill-Up-RFD-01-for-Different-Types-of-GST-Refunds-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/piceapp.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-to-Fill-Up-RFD-01-for-Different-Types-of-GST-Refunds-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to fill up the RFD-01 to claim the following types of GST refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Surplus funds in the electronic cash ledger or overpaid taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) paid for exported services (with tax payment)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unutilized Input Tax Credit (ITC) resulting from exports of consumer products, goods and services where no tax was paid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unutilized ITC from transactions with Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units or developers (without tax payment)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ITC accrued due to an inverted tax structure, where input taxes exceed output taxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Income from deemed exports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxes paid on supplies to SEZ units or developers (with tax payment)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxes paid on intrastate supplies that were later classified as interstate supplies and vice versa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When a supplier of deemed exports pays taxes on those supplies without collecting tax from the buyer, they can claim a refund.

You must respond within 15 days using Form RFD-09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sanction or Rejection Order<\/strong>: The officer will provide either a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.government.se\/government-policy\/foreign-and-security-policy\/international-sanctions\/what-are-sanctions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sanction <\/a>or rejection order via Form RFD-06. If your refund is approved, a payment order will be issued in Form RFD-05. In some cases, RFD-05 may follow RFD-04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Withholding Refunds<\/strong>: An officer might issue an order to withhold a sanctioned refund using Form RFD-07 (Part B). In this case, Form RFD-05 will not be issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Re-crediting Refunds<\/strong>: If your application is rejected or if a provisional refund was granted under Form PMT-03, the corresponding amount will be re-credited to your electronic cash or credit ledger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having good cash flow is important for any business.
