you are requested to give me the details guidelines for returning back the excess amount of refund wrongly given to me .

 

Answer
As per Section 73, Any amount erroneously refunded can be demanded by GST officer u/s 73 (1). But as per Section 73(5), You can deposit the said amount suo moto without issue SCN u/s 73(1). No penalty is to be levied but you have to deposit the amount with Interest u/s 50.

After making payment for the above amount then as per Rule 142 you shall inform to the proper officer of such payment in FORM GST DRC-03 and the proper officer shall issue an acknowledgement, accepting the payment made by the said person in FORM GST DRC'04.
