Offline Utility Tool for GST Refund Error solved

Dear GST stakeholders. Here is the solution for error !!!

The refund offline utility as downloaded from GST portal showing errors as follows

Error 1: Either invalid date or Please enter the Invoice or Doc date in dd-mm-yyyy format

Error 2: SI.No with Duplicate Entry in row Number 13

Error 3 : The uploaded JSON file which was created via offline utility has invalid data format.

Even though the data entered is correct..Lot of complaints and request in this regard have been received. I have made a little modification in the VBA program code and rectified the common errors. Requesting the stakeholders (tax payers, practitioners, accountants, professionals etc. )may use this modified tool.

Please use MS Office 2010/13/16 for using the Excel VBA based utility.

      I am also getting the same error. I raised complaint on GST Helpdesk. After 15 days their Technical Team came with the resolution that Clear Cache / Cookies of the browser. I did the same but still the error did not resolve. Everyone is requested to raise the complaint, as I think it is their website’s technical issue which arose since last month.

      If you fill the data in exact column no password required. Just fill the data in exact white columns. If you copy paste from another excel sheet, just copy the column-wise data and paste it.

    We have applied for GST refund “On Account of Refund by Supplier of Deemed Export”, on 20/11/2020. Subsequently we have received GST RFD-03 Deficiency Memo from the department asking us to file the refund application with more documents. Accordingly, we have tried to apply for the GST Refund for the same invoice, but we are getting the error of “REFUND ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED FOR THIS DOCUMENT”, whereas we have not received any refund against this invoice. Thank you.

    While uploading json file of refund, under inverted duty structure,, there is message “An older version of offline utility has been used to upload the statement. Kindly download the latest available offline utility from the refund application and upload the statement again” I tried it so many times with the recently downloaded offline utility.
    Please suggest

    1. Ak says:

      For B2C supplies, taxpayer need not to provide document level details, rather a consolidated value is to be provided, for all the documents covered in B2C category. In case such error message is shown on upload of any statement, you can rectify the errors details in excel, by providing a single consolidated detail for Type of Outward Supply as B2C. Just go through portal FAQs

  17. ashu says:

    I am facing the problem while claiming a refund under inverted duty structure, when I am going to upload the JSON file it is showing the problem that “an older version of the offline utility has been used to generate the JSON file.
    Please advise in this regard. I tried so much time but it is showing the same problem, even I filled in a new offline utility that I downloaded from GST portal. It is showing the same status although there are previously three times the same problem and communication with GST department in this regard. Eventually please provide the final suggestion so, that we can overcome this problem.
