The crunch, and issues connected to GST administration could adversely affect their overall competitiveness. Relief by refunds The Finance Ministry has recently assured exporters that 90 percent of taxes paid will be refunded within seven days. This is certainly good news for exporters. However, given that GST is a new system involving both the central government and states, the speed with which refunds will be issued remains a source of concern.

Exporter worries Exports are exempt from many domestic indirect taxes under the current tax regime. This will change once GST kicks in. GST is imposed every time value is added, so manufacturing exporters will have to pay GST at various stages, beginning with raw materials. This will likely increase production costs and working capital requirements. To encourage exports, the government will continue to exempt them from GST. Yet whereas the current system allows exporters to claim an exemption at the point of transaction, under GST they would first have to pay the taxes and then seek a refund of the taxes paid. Exporters are worried that refunds could take a long time to materialize, increasing their cash crunch. Indeed

I politely differ.The rates have been fixed by the GST council and as appearing from the literatures, the control mechanisms will be basing upon the turnover, not basing upon the items. – Reply By JAIPRAKASH RUIA – The Reply = Refund in 7 days 7 days from which date. if the material is exported on 1st from factory, when an exporter can file the refund of IGST.
