GST Refund Recovery

Your refund is filed.Your money isn't back.

Export, inverted-duty and excess-balance refunds sit with the department for months, stalled by queries, deficiency memos and missing documents. We take every claim from filing to your bank account.

Not claims filed, not orders passed. We track every refund until it is credited, and report that number.

How our fees work

Filing a refund is easy. Getting it paid isn't.

GST refunds belong to your company. But between the application and the bank credit sit acknowledgements, queries, deficiency memos, verification and orders, and each one can stall a claim for months.

Most finance teams file the claim and move on to the next deadline. Queries go unanswered. Deficiency memos mean starting again. And every refund has a two-year time limit, after which the money is simply gone.

This practice exists to own the whole journey: sizing what's refundable, building a claim that survives scrutiny, answering the department, and following each rupee until it's credited.

What is waiting costing you?

A refund stuck with the department is working capital you've already earned but can't use. Set your numbers to see what the delay costs and how close your oldest claim is to the time limit.

Six ways money gets stuck with the department

Every refund type has its own rules, documents and weak points. Choose one to open its file: what's refundable, where claims stall and what we prepare.

The journey from application to bank

Six stages sit between filing a refund and seeing the money. The amber loop is where most claims lose months: a deficiency memo sends the claim back to the start.

Stage 1

Application filed

The claim is filed on the portal with statements and supporting documents.

Weak point: incomplete documents

Stage 2

Acknowledged

The department accepts the claim as complete, or it doesn't.

Weak point: silent delays

Stage 3

Deficiency memo

Missing or inconsistent details. The claim returns to the start and must be refiled.

Weak point: months lost

Stage 4

Scrutiny and queries

Questions on eligibility, calculations and reconciliations, each with a response deadline.

Weak point: unanswered queries

Stage 5

Refund order

The claim is sanctioned in full or in part. Partial rejections can be contested.

Weak point: partial rejection

Stage 6

Credited to bank

The money reaches your account. This is the only stage that counts.

Questions CFOs ask

About getting GST refunds paid.

Which refunds do you handle?

Refunds of unutilised credit on exports of goods and services, inverted duty structures, excess balance in the electronic cash ledger, supplies to SEZs, deemed exports, and tax paid under the wrong head. We assess each during the free review.

Is there a time limit?

Yes. Most refunds must be claimed within two years of the relevant date, which depends on the type of refund. Periods close to that limit are the first thing we look for.

We received a deficiency memo. Is the claim lost?

Not necessarily. A deficiency memo means the application was incomplete. It can usually be refiled with the missing details, within the time limit. We rebuild the claim so it's complete the second time.

Do you deal with the department on our behalf?

Yes. We prepare replies to every query, attend hearings where needed and keep the claim moving, with your authorisation.

What if our refund is paid late?

The rules provide for interest on refunds that aren't paid within the prescribed time. We track eligibility and claim it where it applies.

How do your fees work?

You choose the model that suits you: a fixed fee per claim, an annual fee to manage every refund cycle, or a success fee on what is credited to your bank. We recommend one after the free assessment and agree it in writing before work begins.
