The government told Parliament that pending GST refund claims have fallen sharply over two years, as of March 31, 2026.
Claims pending for more than 60 days but up to 90 days dropped to 64 worth about Rs 164 crore, from 907 claims of Rs 274 crore in FY24 and 374 claims of Rs 246 crore in FY25.
Claims pending over 90 days fell to 110 worth Rs 64 crore, from 1,592 claims of Rs 696 crore in FY24 and 712 claims of Rs 560 crore in FY25.
Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary attributed most delays to taxpayers' late document submissions and replies, and noted automated processing through ICEGATE, 90 per cent provisional refunds within 7 days for zero-rated supplies, and online refund tracking facilities.
