JSON Format Mandatory for Annexure-B for Filing Refund
The GST portal has introduced major procedural changes for refund claims of accumulated ITC. Annexure-B is now required to be prepared through the offline utility and uploaded in JSON format with enhanced invoice-level details such as inward supply type, document type, eligible/ineligible ITC, blocked credit under Section 17(5), and GSTR-2B period mapping. The update indicates system-based validation of refund invoices with GSTR-2B, making refund filings more reconciliation-driven and reducing manual scrutiny. Taxpayers claiming refunds under Section 54 read with Rule 89 must now ensure proper reconciliation between books, GSTR-2B, ITC ledger, and refund workings before filing FORM GST RFD-01. While the move may improve invoice-level verification and transparency, it is expected to significantly increase compliance and documentation requirements for exporters, SEZ suppliers, and other refund applicants.
