The GST system sends Table 6A data to ICEGATE after both GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the period are filed. Refund processing starts only after that.

Provisions

Rule 96, CGST Rules 2017; Rule 96(2), CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

Delaying GSTR-3B delays the refund. If you export in March, file GSTR-1 by 11 April and GSTR-3B by 20 April to get the data moving. Late filing or IGST shortfall holds it.

Close

  1. File GSTR-1 promptly after the export month.
  2. File GSTR-3B with IGST paid.
  3. Check transmission status on the portal.
  4. Follow up on ICEGATE.
