For merchant exporters a Special Scheme of payment of GST @ 0.1% on their procured goods was introduced.

The GST Council directed GSTN to expeditiously forward the balance refund claims to the Customs/Central GST/State GST authorities, as the case may be, for their immediate sanction and disbursal.
