Refund in wrong order, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[KARAN VERMA]

Sir, as per circular no. 125/44/2019-GST, refund to be claimed firstly under IGST, then equally under CGST and SGST to the extent of balance available.

Now, i haved filed my application in 2021 and claim full refund of ₹ 20 lakhs under SGST head only, even though balances stand under CGST and IGST head.

Whether officer can charge any interest and penalty at the time of departmental audit?

If the time limit is still available you can take back this application and file new application

Even if this is wrong it is revenue neutral as far as you are concerned since you have not got any extra benefit from the department and thereby interest and penalty should not be liable
