Refund of IGST paid on export of goods via shipping bill

What this means, checked by a CA

If you export goods and pay IGST, you do not file a separate refund form: the shipping bill itself is the claim. We make sure your GSTR-1 export table and GSTR-3B match the shipping bills, read the ICEGATE error codes, and fix mismatches with the right amendment or customs officer so the refund lands in your bank.

  • Delivered in Ongoing; errors worked within 5 working days of the ICEGATE response
  • Due: GSTR-1 (Table 6A) and GSTR-3B for the month of export by their due dates; refund within the Sec 54 two-year limit

How we do it: IDFD

Every case runs through the same four steps: Information, Discussion, Forms, Deliverables. You see each one ticked as it happens.

DiscussionWhat we discuss · 6 items
  1. Are your goods in the notified list barred from the IGST route?

    Then export under LUT instead

  2. Did you file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the export month?

    Refund data moves only then

  3. Is IGST in 3B Table 3.1(b) at least the Table 6A total?

    Lower 3B blocks transmission

  4. Do invoice numbers in GSTR-1 match the shipping bills?

    Mismatch gives SB005

  5. Which drawback rate did you claim?

    Higher rate means no IGST refund

  6. Is your bank account validated with PFMS?

    Unvalidated accounts fail scroll
