How do I get my Haridwar GST refund processed under the state GST rules?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Processing of your GST refund in Haridwar is governed by the central GST Act read with Uttarakhand Rent Control Act 2011, which adapts the refund procedure for the state component of the tax. You must file the refund application on the GST portal with the relevant returns, the export documents or inverted duty proof, and the bank account details, and the jurisdictional officer verifies the claim before sanctioning.

The Uttarakhand High Court has held that the officer must process the refund within the statutory period of ninety days and that interest is payable on delay, and rejection must be a reasoned order. If the refund is delayed or wrongly rejected, you can file an appeal before the Appellate Authority under Uttarakhand Rent Control Act 2011 and thereafter a writ in the Uttarakhand High Court.

Keep the RFD application number, the export invoices, and the bank statement showing non-receipt, as these are essential to prove the entitlement and the delay.
