rejection of refund applciat, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Richa Goyal]

We had filed a refund claim for double payment of GST. The department has issued a deficiency memo but it is not visible on the website.

On visit to the GST department, we were informed that we had to explain the reason of refund and this refund application has been rejected.

When there is a deficiency memo, how can the refund application be rejected.

Kindly guide how to go about this issue?.

you may file fresh refund application. As per rule 90 (3) of CGST Rule, if any deficiency memo is issued in respect of refund application, then taxpayer need to file fresh application becuase action on the GST Portal on ARN has already been done by proper officer and now taxpayer has to submit fresh application/ARN for further processing of refund.
