Deputy Commissioner of Customs, Ahmedabad, Shri Nitin Tagade was the Chief Guest of this Seminar & Interactive Session, and he guided the participating exporters about the common mistakes they commit while filing documents under GST resulting into unnecessary delay in refunds under integrated GST. President Shri Shailesh Patwari drew the attention of the Deputy Commissioner that there are many instances where in spite of perfect filing of the documents, the refunds are still pending thus blocking the funds of exporters and weakening their position in the International Market. He expressed concern that the vacuum may be filled up by exporters from China and other countries thus resulting into permanent loss of export business for us. He opined that exporters should get a part of refund immediately upon filing the papers and the rest after total scrutiny, which can be a stop-gap solution until foolproof mechanism is in place.
