In this regard, the council had also deputed an Officer to JNCH (Nhava Sheva) to meet the Senior Customs Officers regarding specific issues pertaining to IGST refunds and also understand IGST refund facilitation process during this fortnight. During interactions, we understand that IGST refund liquidation is being done mainly for error code SB005. The council has been advised to inform the members once again to make use of this opportunity (till 29/03/2018) of liquidating IGST refunds stuck specially due to error code SB005.

Those exporters who have exported their consignments from Nhava Sheva port can approach the “IGST Exports Refund Facilitation Centre” on the ground floor of the Custom House with the prescribed concordance tables in respect of those shipping bills where SB005 error exists, along with the GSTR1 and Table 6A, if any, for the relevant month.
