supply of goods to SEZ from domestic tariff area, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[VENKAT S]

the goods described Tissue materials procured from supplier through Inter State with IGST from domestic tarrif area to SEZ units at different locations in and around chennai after obtaining LUT from GST. Now we have made refund of unutilised INPUT IGST through online. Now the officer at SEZ is refusing to grant approval stating that the tissue materials are not exempt from GST. The government has to issue clarifications on this since the supplies made to SEZ without GST are getting blocked with working capital of cash flow. TREAT THIS AS MOST IMPORTANT.

I have examined Instruction of Default List and other circulars, case laws etc. I have found no restriction on the goods mentioned by you for authorised operations in SEZ unit. For sanction of refund claim, the claimant is not to wait for clarification to be issued. Refund claim is to be sanctioned as per instructions existed on the date of sanctioning refund claim. It is claimant's right to ask for the basis of rejection of refund claim. Anyhow, refund claim cannot be rejected without issuance of SCN.
