“CGST refunds during the lockdown period are being attended to by the department officials, and the pending refunds will be cleared before April 30, 2020,” said MRR Reddy, Commissioner of Central Tax, Secunderabad GST Commissionerate.
During a webinar on “Easing of statutory compliance under GST in view of Covid-19 Lockdown,” organised by The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI), Reddy said Central CGST officials are working in close co-ordination with State police to iron out any logistic problems faced by the exporters/importers.
He said a GST-Customs helpdesk has been created in the Hyderabad GST & Customs Zone for trade facilitation and to reach out to taxpayers.
