Client Challenge
A listed company exporting goods and services was sitting on a legitimate GST refund for exporters worth ₹30 crores — but with ITC availed and export turnover both crossing ₹100 crores, filing the claim accurately was far from simple. They needed a team that could get it right the first time.
The Problem
- Refund workings under Rule 89 needed several rounds of calculation before the numbers held up to scrutiny
- GST department issued a Show Cause Notice with 10 objections after filing
- Each objection needed a factual, calculation-backed reply — no room for vague responses
Our Approach
- Reworked the GST refund calculations multiple times until every figure was watertight
- Filed the export refund application only after full reconciliation of ITC availed with zero-rated export turnover and IGST paid
- Drafted point-by-point replies to all 10 SCN objections with full supporting documentation and workings
The Result
- Full ₹30 crore GST refund for exporters sanctioned within 4 months
- Not a single rupee rejected across the entire claim
- All 10 SCN objections closed — no escalation to appeal
What This Means for Exporters Claiming GST Refunds
Large exporters with high ITC and turnover figures face the toughest GST refund scrutiny. Getting it fully sanctioned takes more than filing — it takes preparation, calculation rigour, and the ability to defend every figure under a Show Cause Notice. The client’s own words: charge us more next time.
