All Principal Chief Commissioners/Chief Commissioners of Central Tax


Sir,


Sub: Refund applications involving amount claimed less than rupees one thousand - reg.


Kindly refer my earlier letter of even number dated 08.05.2018 on the above mentioned subject (copy enclosed) wherein I had requested to ensure that all refund claims received in the jurisdictional office in FORM GST RFD-01A, in which the amount claimed is less than ₹ 1000/-, are summarily rejected.


2. The matter has been further examined. and the following points are clarified:


a) the limit of ₹ 1000/- referred to in section 54(14) shall be calculated for each tax head and not cumulatively; and


b) the limit should not apply to claims of refund of balance in the electronic cash ledger,


You faithfully.
