4. Select the financial year and month for which application has to be filed from the drop-down lists and click the 'create' button

5. The GST RFD-01A - Excess payment of tax page will be displayed. Fill in the relevant tax details and submit your bank account details then click the 'save' option.

6. Click the 'preview' button to download the form in PDF format.
