In these cases, The GST officer shall grant the provisional refund to the extent of 90% of the Refund claimed.

Provisional Refund shall be granted by the issue of Form RFD-04 within seven days of giving the Acknowledgement in RFD-02.

This Provisional Refund amount is to be credited directly to the Bank account of the Refund applicant. Payment advice in RFD-05 is sent along for this payment.

Exception:

The Provisional Refund is not granted if the applicant was prosecuted for the offence under any Indian Laws where the tax evaded is more than  Rs. 250 Lakhs anytime in the last five years preceding the tax period for which refund is claimed.

Once a complete check is done within the stipulated time limit, the final order for sanction or rejection ( RFD-06 OR RFD-08) replaces the provisional refund order (RFD- 04).

Consequently, the actual refund amount decided in final order shall be adjusted for the amount already refunded on a provisional basis. Suppose, the GST officer rejects the refund claim, then the claimant has to pay back to the Government the entire amount that he received earlier.
