Till now, the Refund application — RFD-01A filed online by the tax payer at the GSTN common portal is pushed to the CBIC back end system, in which the jurisdictional tax officer can view and download these applications. Thereafter, the proper officer manually processes the applications and refund sanction order and Payment advice are sent to PAO for payment. The rejected amount if any, which has been debited from the ledgers of the tax payer is re-credited automatically upon successful submission of RFD-01 B.
The grievance of the petitioners is also that the statutory mechanism created for entertaining IGST refund claims is not being implemented, and that there are some inherent lacunas in the scheme formulated by the Respondents to process the refund claims.
