I have the same case. I charged CGST/SGST in place of IGST from July 2017 onwards up to March 2018. Please guide me what should i do?
I have wrongly remitted 18% GST, instead of @5% applicable rate. How can I claim the balance 13% GST refund back from October 2017 to July 2018?
you have to pay igst first and then claim for refund of cgst and sgst by filling rfd 01 form?
I took cgst and sgst itc credit instead of igst itc credit during 17=18 and 18-19. This mistake came to knowledge now. What to do? what are the options?
At present SGST, CGST and IGST can be transferred for credit adjustments among them.
