Dear Experts,
We are supplying goods to various Govt agencies like Railways & defense, PSUs and private sector industries on payment of GST. If any materials gets rejected and needs to be rectified / replaced, we have to get back the materials but the Govt. Agencies and PSUs are not issuing GST Invoice for return of goods on the ground that they have not accepted & accounted for the goods (GRN not issued) and not taken any ITC credit of GST.
Kindly advise how to get back the rejected GST paid goods and replace without paying GST

Suggest you to follow the following steps:
1. The customer has informed that they have not accounted and not taken ITC.
2. Ask them to send (return) the goods on a Delivery Challan (returning the goods is not a supply)
3. Issue Credit Note to reduce your tax liability and your accounting.
4. After receipt of the material and issuance of credit note, supply the replacement on a new Invoice.

Thanks for valued suggestion. I am also in same opinion but the issue is, we have already paid GST against supply of goods in July'17 and submitted GSTR-3B. If we issue Credit Note today, how the GST amount will be credited in our account / GST Credit Ledger.

Sh.CS Sanjay Malhotra, Sir.
Here is additional information. GST rate is different under Chapters 14, 44, 46 & 94 of GST Tariff Act depending upon the nature and usage of the product. As handicraft it is exempted vide Notification No.8/17-I.T. dated 14.9.17. You will have to take decision for correct classification.

Rebate claims have been sanctioned in post GST regime of the claims submitted in pre GST regime. Amounts have been sanctioned by way of Cenvat credit. How to claim such credit. Is there provision in GSTR-TRAN.1 which is yet to be filed. I hardly find such provision in TRAN-1. Please come to my rescue with your valuable suggestions of way out.

Throw ball in the court of the department. You must apply for cash refund again against same order. You have a solid ground that there is no such provision in Common Portal of GST at present. See the jurisdictional Commissioner in person.You can get refund in cash. Make all out efforts. I am sure you will be successful.

r-in-Original can be challenged or else time for filing Appeal will lapse. Rebate sanctioning authority will not review his order.
Sec 142(3) Every claim for refund filed by any person before, on or after the appointed day, for refund of any amount of CENVAT credit, duty, tax, interest or any other amount paid under the existing law, shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of existing law and any amount eventually accruing to him shall be paid in cash, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained under the provisions of existing law other than the provisions of sub-section (2) of section 11B of the Central Excise Act, 1944.

Sri Nageswara Rao Garu, you will win in the case. The provision cited by Sri Sanjay Sir clarifies the law. You must get refund in cash. Reproduce the said provision in your reply.

With due respects,would suggest the following:
There is a time limit to file the appeal. The appeal has to be heard and the order is to be passed to sanction the refund in cash.
If the amount of Cenvat through the order is transferred to GST through TRAN-1 iimmediately by revising the TRAN-1, it gets reflected and can be utilised for payment of GST.
If not reflecting in TRAN-1, then can file the appeal and follow the process.
This shall mitigate the uncertainiity as well as the blockage of funds.
No harm in trying.
