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.

Provisions

Rule 96, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 56, CGST Act 2017

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.
