LUT HAS BEEN DECLARED BY OVERSIGHT IN SB – SHIPPER NEEDS TO PAY IGST AND GET REFUND

A Shipper forgot to mention IGST while filing Shipping Bill but paid IGST and given request letter to The Deputy Commissioner to amend SB. Subsequently, The DC has given a SB amendment confirmation letter to Shipper but The Commissioner denied IGST refund. What is the remedy ?


Yes. Post amendment of Shipping bill shipper is eligible for refund of IGST.

Let us see the observations of Hon’ble High Court as follows ;


It is the case of the writ-applicant that the writ-applicant is a manufacturer and is holding the GST Registration. The writ-applicant exported goods under the various invoices of payment of the IGST from the Mundra Port. However, on account of a clerical error, the amount of the IGST was not mentioned in the shipping bills. In such circumstances, the shipping bills were amended for the purpose of getting the details of the IGST, incorporated in the shipping bills.


The grievance of the writ-applicant is that the respondent-authorities are not responding to the request with regard to the sanction of the refund of the IGST paid in connection with the goods exported, i.e. “Zero Rated Supplies”.
