    • For filing GST refund for exports on goods or services, you need to file form RFD-01. It is not possible to get refunds without notifying the shipping company as the details entered in Form GSTR-1 will be matched with the details mentioned in the shipping bill as filed with ICEGATE. The ICEGATE will then process the refund and credit the same to your bank account. Reach out to know more. Thank you
