Refund of IGST paid on export of services, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Archna Gupta]

Dear Sir/ Ma'am

My question is on refund of IGST on export of services. In my view there is a time limit of one year from the date of invoice on realisation of amount when we export services under LUT. But in case of export on payment of IGST, no time limit is there on realisation of foreign exchange. If I am correct my next question is that the time limit for filing refund is with in two years from the date of realisation of export proceeds. Now suppose on some invoices we have received amount and two years time limit is going to expire. If we file refund on those invoices then what about other export invoices of the same period for which payment is yet to realise. Can we file another refund claim within two years of realising the payment? Please reply.

Dear Alkesh Jani Ji,

I am overwhelmed with your flowery language (full of adjectives) used by you for me. I am really indebted to you. You have always been humble, polite, disciplined, transparent and egoless not only for me but also for all colleague experts. Your ideal nature reminisces me of Sachin Tendulkar's words. Once he said, " How a player behaves in the playground is his/her real character in all other fields of life."

To cap it all, you have wooed my heart.
