Service overview

What this service is

Refund applications for exports, inverted duty and excess cash. Delivered end-to-end by Bluman's Chartered Accountants with a fixed scope and a published price.

Who needs it

Exporters, suppliers to SEZ units, businesses with an inverted duty structure, and taxpayers with excess balance in the electronic cash ledger.

What Bluman will do

  • Establish the correct refund category and the relevant tax period, since an application filed under the wrong category is usually rejected outright.
  • Compute the eligible refund amount using the prescribed formula for your category and reconcile it with returns and shipping or SEZ documentation.
  • Assemble the statement and annexures required for that category, including the declarations and undertakings prescribed.
  • File the application in FORM GST RFD-01 with the supporting statement and track the acknowledgement.
  • Reply to any deficiency memo or notice issued, and follow up until the sanction or rejection order is passed.

Key deliverables

  • Filed RFD-01 with computation statement and annexures
  • Replies to any deficiency memo
  • Record of the sanction or rejection order

The application is prepared within the stated turnaround once documents are complete. Sanction timing is controlled by the department, and a deficiency memo restarts the process.

  • · Government fees, portal charges and applicable taxes are billed at actuals.
  • · Timelines start once complete documents and information are received.
  • · Outcomes that depend on a government authority cannot be guaranteed, but every step is tracked and communicated.

Forms and filings involved

  • FORM GST RFD-01

    Refund application filed on the portal.

  • FORM GST RFD-02 / RFD-03

    Acknowledgement and deficiency memo issued by the officer.

  • FORM GST RFD-06

    Sanction or rejection order passed by the officer.

Documents required

  • Returns for the refund period
  • Export invoices with shipping bills and bank realisation evidence, or SEZ endorsements
  • Purchase invoices supporting the credit claimed
  • Bank account details validated on the portal

What we need from you

  • Provide complete export or SEZ evidence — incomplete documentation is the main cause of rejection.
  • Keep the refund bank account validated on the portal.

Important conditions

  • Sanction of the refund is the department's decision; the amount and timing cannot be guaranteed.
  • Appeal against a rejection order is a separate service.
