Minister Suresh Prabhu last week promised to address the problem of
delayed refunds faced by exporters under the Goods and Services Tax
(GST) regime and take up the issue with the Finance Ministry. In a
meeting with industry representatives, the minister admitted that GST
refund is a major issue for the sector and stressed on the need of a
concrete plan to address the challenge. The assurance came in the
background of claims by exporters that over 60 percent of their
refunds are still stuck with the government.
A
recent study report by the RBI, 'Working Capital constraints and
exports: Evidence from the GST roll-out' shows how a short term
liquidity shock could impact firms in the export sector, which are
generally believed to be financially sound. This is reflected in the
exports growth number in October 2017, which declined to -1.2%
(year-on-year), the report mentions. However, according to government
claim, corrective measures taken in October have alleviated the
distress, but exporters view
that little has changed
on the ground level.
Official
data shows that the Centre has sanctioned GST refunds worth about Rs
12,700 crore. This amounts to 80 percent of the eligible claims of
exporters, but these figures hardly reflect the graveness of the
problem as they do not take into account the claims where returns
have been filed wrongly. According to exporters, the real percentage
is much lower as many exporters have filed GSTR 3 erroneously.
Additionally, the GST authority collects data from the Customs
department and sorts it out manually and this tedious process further
delays the refunds.
Over
the last few months, exporters have raised the concern
over GST refund delays time and again. Several industry bodies have
requested the government to come out with a solution. But the
Government's
response has
remained tame and the problem has refused to go away. This situation
needs to be reversed. Our exports growth in 2017-18 is not that
encouraging, particularly in the light of revival of global demand.
Additionally, the trade war between the US and China may further
impact us. So, time is now to take care of the sector.
I
invite your opinions.

corruption in gst refund
An exporter from tirupur, Tamil Nadu | Tue Aug 28 06:31:18 2018
Hi
I am exporter from Tirupur, Tamilnadu. At our place, refund is made only to companies who accept to pay 10% of commission on the refund amount. We welcome GST, but government should catch hold of those corrupted culprits who is killing all good schemes. Already we facing stiff competition from China and this GST refund is killing us. I am planning finally to stop all export activities.

GST Refund delays
SJS RAVI | Thu Apr 26 20:51:06 2018
It is strange that the Govt creates more and more hurdles for all types of businesses. If exports tank, the balance pf payments will be much worse, especially since the crude bill is likely to rise astronomically soon. The two businesses with low tech and high labour participation, in which India had a good edge are already at the receiving end of Govt. actions. In response to noises from the textile industry on GST, the finance minister said that these people have got used to not paying any taxes. In the meanwhile other countries are stealing a march on us in textile exports. Notable among these are Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh. In a recent visit to a US clothing store for children, I found hundreds of pieces from Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, China and a few even from Myanmar. After a lot of scouring I found only two from India which also might be old stock. If we are not exporting to US are we exporting Gambia, Zambia? Our Govt. does not understand business, only Taxes on everything under the sun. The business of export is treated very seriously by most third world countries. We perhaps think that we are no more third world, which is an error. Even the high tech software is entirely dependent on all imported hardware and a lot of software. China can choke us any time by shutting a few taps. Being in such a vulnerable position, it is unthinkable that the Govt still engages in disruptions. Exports is our national interest. It cannot be made hostage to such minions.
GST REFUND ON EXPORTS
R S MISHRA | Thu Apr 26 02:55:57 2018
THERE SHOULD BE NO GST PAID FOR EXPORT. WHY TAKING VIA MEDIA ROUTE OF FIRST PAYING AND WAITING FOR REFUND
NON REFUND OF GST TO EXPORTERS BY GST COUNCIL
RISHABH KUMAR JAIN | Wed Apr 25 16:30:40 2018
I am an exporter since 1998 & now planning to shut down my export house because my net profit margins are hardly around 10-12% while I am paying GST @ 18 % so this way there are sevaral lacs of export houses which are soon going to shut down because of non refund or just partial refund by the GST council.India is actually a ridiculous country for businessmen with reckless & red tapisim in the Govt Departments.Our last hope is Honourable Sh Narendra ModiJi who is executing e-governance & making things digital.The corrupt GST officers still have a point to ask for the proof of exports like self attested shipping bill copy, Self attested Bill of lading, Bank of statement & Bank advise as the proof of exports & its payment received.Why in GST Portal, there is no option for uploading these documents ???????? SIMPLY BECAUSE WHEN EXPORTERS OR THEIR CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS WILL HAVE TO MEET PERSONALLY THE GST OFFICER, THEN HE MAY BE ABLE TO ASK FOR HIS BRIBE WHICH IS USUALLY SOMEWHERE AROUND 7 TO 10 % OF THE REFUND CLAIMED AMOUNT.WHEN AN EXPORTER IS PRODUCING THE EBRC IN FRONT OF THE CORRUPT GST OFFICER THEN WHY THE CORRUPT GST OFFICER ASKS FOR THE FURTHER DOCUMENTS WHILE EBRC IS THE FINAL & DGFT'S(GOVT OF INDIA)CONCLUSIVE DOCUMENT FOR THE PROOF OF EXPORT & ITS PAYMENT. THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO USE OF DOING EXPORT TRADE IN THIS COUNTRY(INDIA) WHERE THE PROFIT MARGINS IN TODAY'S COMPETITIVE INTERNATIONAL MARKET ARE VERY THIN WHILE THERE IS NO HOPE OF GST REFUND.

We are an Association of Non Ferrous Metals Recyclers, Importers, Manufacturers, Traders etc in India. ANMA is working for Protection and Promotion of Trade Since 2000. Majority of Aluminium Recycling units are SMES and MSME which Provides Employment To 1.50 Lacs People all over India. After Implementation of GST in India, Aluminium Recycling Business is facing heavy Accumulation of GST . This is because the Majority of the Raw Material of this Industry is Imported and Custom Over Value the Imports based on DGOV Formula . This leads to Overvaluation of around 20 To 40% At Port . Whereas Value Addition is hardly 10% . Thus due to higher Inout GST and Lower Output GST , it is Accumulating . Also there is no Provision in GST Law for Refund of Same. We and our other Association MRAI had met Finance Minister , MOS Finance , Revenue Secretary , DGOV , CBEC Chair Person and other to help us in solving this Problem. But nothing had been done. The Working Capital of SME and MSME in our Sector is getting Blocked every day due to this . If the Problem is not solved then it will leads to NPAS in Span of 2 to 3 Years. Our Demand is as under : 1. Assessment of Aluminium Scrap At Transaction Value by Customs 2. Reduction of GST on Aluminium Scrap from 18% to 12% so that the Accumulated GST can be used . Pls help us in this matter.

Export Refund
Aijaz Khan | Wed Apr 25 08:51:48 2018
The issue is correctly explained. We have filed for 5 months refund and not a single refund is processed. For 1st three month, they cited erroneous 3b filing error and rejected. For further months, no update yet. Ground work still not upto the mark.
Delay in dealing with GST refund delays
Rajeev Kejriwal | Wed Apr 25 07:47:56 2018
External Business (EXPORT) & Internal Business (DOMESTIC) goes hands in hands for any country. Currently, both the sectors are facing huge amount of issues which needs to be looked seriously by any Central Government. In my personal view, this can only be possible when Concerned authorities leave their "SAB VYAPARI CHOR HAI" attitude & agree that "YES ! THERE'S ISSUES IN OUR POLICIES & WORKING PATTERN and WE NEED TO FIND APPROPRIATE SOLUTION". Otherwise whatever Government says or do, nothing going to make strong impact. Even sanction of funds will, in such cases, not reach traders on time. And we all know that any kind of delay in refunds have huge negative impact on CASH FLOW & finally on BUSINESS. With trade war within India & outside India, its high time that Government freeze out some policies that not only protect us but encourage us to retain our second generation in India & facilitate them into business.
GSTR2
Rohit Jain | Wed Apr 25 06:24:13 2018

GST Refunds - A Nightmare
S Mathur | Wed Apr 25 05:30:56 2018
I completely agree with what is stated in your article. As a Small Entrepreneur, a 100% EOU, the impact on our already stretched cashflows is near fatal. Our claims for refund of Aug'17 GST on zero-rated supplies (exports), submitted in Dec'17, sanctioned on Feb 22, 2018, was received on Apr 21, 2018. Thereafter claims from Sept'18 to Nov'18, are yet to even be processed. Due to this, additional submissions are being discouraged by the authority. The amount runs close to Rs.75L presently and is growing by a few lakhs every week. How do we sustain? Apart from this ofocurse is the difference in rate - all inputs @ 18% and sale @ 12% causing perennial shortfall. Earlier, 100% EOUs were granted the option to procure duty-free domestically with CT-3 Forms which was eliminated under the GST regime. This is a seriously retrograde step causing immense trouble. Ofcourse, added to all this is the concerned department's constant endeavour to blatantly "cash-in" on such "opportunities" arising out of the pain of their subjects, adding salt to the wounds already inflicted on these helpless folks, who by the way, are generating employment for hundreds of individuals despite all these odds. A classic case of dismal implementation of a supposedly good policy at the last mile. A sad state of affairs, indeed!

GSt wants to control all businesses thru Balance sheet and PL account to be uploaded on GST portal but with another name and in tabular form, some information like port , update of shipping bill nos, EGM by shipping companies on Customs website are hidden under bag full of words to confuse, initially there should be only in real time Invoice matching only and leave all other form for big corporations whose turnover are in C'rs
Refunding of excess ITC paid
HC Muniraj | Wed Apr 25 03:06:16 2018
Due to errors made while filing GSTR-3B, we find Rs.5,04,000/- credit balance in Credit ledger. There is a provision TYpe of Refund for claiming Refund from Cash Ledger, but same is not available for Credit Ledger. No other reason Type of Refund is applicable in our case for claiming refund from Credit Ledger.
No GST On Export
Vishnu Arora | Wed Apr 25 02:21:24 2018
There should not be GST/IGST on Exports. When we have to receive it after many months means our capital block. Either Government Pay Bank Interest as Bank Charges On Packing Credit for delayed period or stop charging GST/IGST from Exporters.
