Claim Refund in GST:

GST was introduced as more effective and efficient way to charge taxes on manufacturers and exporters. This does not only include an efficient way to charge taxes but it also has an efficient flow of getting GST refunds when a taxpayer has been charged an extra amount. GST flows freely based on invoices and is proven to be less cumbersome than past tax laws. The new GST tax structure allows its users to get their GST refunds in almost no time by allowing systematic checking of the GST levied to the person or the entity.
