  1. Facts

    When all data matches, the customs system processes the refund quickly, usually within days of GSTR-3B. Delays come from errors or verification. Sec 56 provides interest for refunds delayed beyond 60 days from the application.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Rule 96, CGST Rules 2017Shipping bill is deemed a refund application for IGST paid on exported goods once the EGM and a valid GSTR-3B are filed
    • Sec 56, CGST Act 2017Interest at 6 percent on refunds delayed beyond 60 days from the application
  3. Analysis

    If your shipping bill was in March and GSTR-3B filed on 20 April, a matched case may see credit in late April or May. If months pass without errors shown, write to the port's refund cell. Interest under Sec 56 is a point to raise for long delays.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Check status after filing GSTR-3B.
    2. Fix any error code.
    3. Write to the refund cell for unexplained delays.
    4. Claim interest for long delays.
