The declaration under rule 89(2)l is not required if refund claimed is under clause (b) of sub-section (8) of section 54 of the Act

If refund claim is of Unulilized ITC under sub section (3) of section 54 ,no such declaration is required.pl see the format attached to RFD -01

Rule 89 (2) (l) of the CGST Rules, 2017 states as follows:

"a declaration to the effect that the incidence of tax, interest or any other amount claimed as refund has not been passed on to any other person, in a case where the amount of refund claimed does not exceed two lakh rupees:

Provided that a declaration is not required to be furnished in respect of the cases covered under clause (a) or clause (b) or clause (c) or clause (d) or clause (f) of sub-section (8) of section 54;"

Clause (b) of sub-section (8) of section 54 reads as follows:- refund of unutilised input tax credit under sub-section (3)

And said sub-section (3) deals with refund of any unutilised input tax credit due to zero rated supplies made without payment of tax;

These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion.
