We are not getting GST REFUND from Mundra customs against ERROR SB005 in spite of all the formalities completed as per the circulars.
However, we check that there is no any mistake in GSTR3B, all the data matched as per the shipping bill. we think that its seems some technical error.
pls guide us on this.
