Sir,
I had booked to go on vacation with a travel agent. But due to natural calamities the trip had to be cancelled. Travel agent has refunded the moneys less GST at 5%. As services were cancelled am I eligible to claim refund of GST?

As the services have not been rendered, you will get total amount i.e. service charges plus GST in return from the travel agent.
We are the importer of Ferrous, Non-Ferrous and Plastic Scrap materials. While Calculating Custom Duty and IGST, Customs Authority is always taking Higher amount (almost 30%-50%) per unit. For e.g. in case of Import of Plastic Scrap, Invoice Shows material priced as the US $ 375/- per Mt even though Custom Authority considers price as US$ 645/- per MT and accordingly they charged custom Duty and IGST. Also, There is not more 10% of the Value addition in Sales Price hence adjustment of the entire amount of IGST is not possible as a result the good amount of GST is accumulated.
My question as to how we can claim the refund of such accumulated/ non-utilization of GST? This accumulation really hampers our Cash Flow.
Please advice
Thanks and best regards
In the case on inverted duty structure i.e., when the sale price is less than the purchase price and tax paid on the purchase of goods, is more than tax charged on sale then refund of such unutilised credit can be claimed by filing form RFD-01 for such tax period.
WE COULD NOT ABLE TO GET THE REFUND FOR INVERTED DUTY STRUCTURE. CAN ANYBODY HELP US TO PROVIDE THE LATEST CIRCULARS SUPPORTING THE REFUND CLAIM?
Dear Sir/Madam,

Jayalakshmi,
