yhe dept. will say the time limit is 2 years. better file a writ in the high court if the amount is substantial

Answer ID : 80978

2 years time limit is from relevant date. Relevant date is 2 years from the date of payment of taxes. We don't have right to claim until we pay in correct head (CGST and SGST). Whether relevant date is from the date of payment of taxes in correct head(CGST and SGST payment date).

the 2 year period should start from the day, the error was noticed and the correct tax paid. but the Dept. will say it starts from the day the tax was paid originally under wrong head
