A deficiency memo in RFD-03 under Rule 90(3) means the application is treated as incomplete. You correct the deficiency and file a fresh application. Circular 37/11/2018-GST says only one deficiency memo should be issued per application.

Provisions

Rule 90, CGST Rules 2017; Circular 37/11/2018-GST

Analysis

The credit debited for the first claim is re-credited when the memo issues, so the fresh claim can debit it again. Read every point in the memo and fix all of them at once, because a second memo is a further delay. Check that the fresh claim is still inside the two-year window for the earliest invoice.
