GST Refund refers to the process of claiming the return of excess tax paid or accumulated credit under the Goods and Services Tax system. Businesses often become eligible for refunds due to zero-rated exports, inverted duty structures, excess input tax credit (ITC), or mistaken tax payments. A smooth refund process ensures better cash flow, working capital efficiency, and compliance. Proper documentation, accurate filings, and timely follow-up with the department are essential for securing GST refunds without delays.
