YOUR REQUIREMENT, CLEARLY DEFINED
Export refunds and deficiency communications need a focused review
An exporter preparing a first claim and a business responding to a deficiency memo need different work. Identify the exact stage so the professional review can focus on the category, evidence gaps and available next steps.
For export-related claims, organise the supply description, period and available export evidence
For an existing claim, identify the application reference, recorded status and communication received
Review the requested records and actual response requirements with a qualified professional
Agree claim preparation, deficiency-response work and follow-up limits separately
GST ITC refund: begin with the claim category
A credit balance alone does not establish that a refund is available. A GST ITC refund enquiry should explain the business activity, relevant period, reason for the accumulated credit and whether an application already exists.
Identify export-related or other claimed refund circumstances for professional review
Organise returns, purchase records, reconciliations and relevant supply evidence
Share the application stage and any deficiency memo or query through a secure channel
Ask for eligibility review, preparation and query support to be itemised separately

Audio uses your browser’s available voice. The same information is provided as text.
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
01
Classify the claim
Separate category, period, filing history and material time-limit questions.
02
Reconcile and prepare
Compare the agreed records and document differences or unsupported items.
03
Approve the application
Prepare the applicable claim and evidence pack for approval and authorised filing.
04
Track the actual stage
Record available ARN, queries, orders and included follow-up actions.
Timing agreed after document review
Agree a preparation estimate after the records are assessed. Processing depends on completeness, authority scrutiny, queries and payment validation. Record the applicable claim deadline and each response due date for your category; do not treat a marketing estimate or an ARN as a promised payment date.

Can every unused input tax credit balance be refunded?+
No. Identify an eligible refund category and apply its conditions and calculation. Reconcile the relevant invoices and credit records; appearing in a ledger or GSTR-2B does not settle every eligibility question.
Is excess cash-ledger refund the same as an ITC refund?+
No. GSTN provides a separate excess-cash category in RFD-01. CBIC also clarifies that section 54(1)'s time-period restriction does not apply to that excess cash balance; do not transfer that exception to another category.
No. An ARN records filing. Scrutiny, an acknowledgement or deficiency, the decision and disbursement are separate stages. Track the actual documents and bank receipt.
No. GST-portal claims and customs processing of IGST paid on exported goods are distinct. For goods routed through customs, shipping-bill/export-manifest data, GST matching and payment validation can matter.
What extra records should a service exporter prepare?+
Prepare the contract and actual service facts, export invoices and relevant bank-realisation evidence, such as BRC/FIRC. Review the export-of-service conditions, not only the customer's overseas address.
Read the exact deficiencies, reconcile the missing or inconsistent evidence and obtain advice on the correct fresh-application or other response route and time limit. Do not repeatedly upload the same incomplete pack or confuse a deficiency with a final sanction order.
What should I prepare before speaking to a GST refund consultant?+
Provide a short description of the refund circumstances, period, available records and application stage. The team will identify the detailed evidence needed and confirm the review scope before confidential documents are shared.
Can you guarantee a GST ITC refund amount or payment date?+
No. The category, records and applicable conditions must be reviewed. The authority decides sanction and payment. LIQUETAX can coordinate the agreed preparation and follow-up work without promising a refund outcome.

Question
What matters
Next step
Cash or credit?
Distinguish money in the electronic cash ledger from unutilised input tax credit.
The cash-ledger category is not a shortcut for withdrawing every ITC balance.
Which export route?
Distinguish goods/services without payment of tax, tax-paid services, SEZ supplies and tax-paid goods handled through customs.
Do not select one RFD-01 category for every export or confuse an LUT with a refund application.
Period and claim limit
Identify the claim category, relevant dates, previous applications and applicable time limit.
Do not apply one deadline to every refund: CBIC separately addresses excess cash-ledger balances.
Evidence and eligibility
Reconcile invoices, returns, ledgers and applicable GSTR-2B records before finalising the working.
A portal entry is not enough to establish all credit conditions, and an old GSTR-2A-only checklist should not be copied forward.
Current stage
Identify draft, ARN, acknowledgement, deficiency, notice, order and payment evidence.
A filed application and a bank credit are different milestones.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
The published professional fee covers only the agreed claim-preparation/support. Applicable GST and agreed external costs remain separate. Confirm the number of periods, applications and query rounds; return corrections, appeals and specialist certification are not automatically included.
Claim category and number of GSTINs/periods
Invoice volume and reconciliation gaps
Export, SEZ or receipt-evidence availability
Existing deficiency, notice, rejection or appeal stage
Agree a preparation estimate after the records are assessed. Processing depends on completeness, authority scrutiny, queries and payment validation. Record the applicable claim deadline and each response due date for your category; do not treat a marketing estimate or an ARN as a promised payment date.
