# Fast GST Refund

> GST refund preparation guidance and tools for Indian exporters and their CAs: free guides and checks, and a generator for the Statement 3 and Annexure B JSON files that replaces the Excel offline utilities.

Available now: a browser generator for the Statement 3 and Annexure B JSON files of an RFD-01 export refund application (enter or paste rows, or import a file; checking is free with no account; downloading both files costs INR 499 plus GST once per GSTIN and refund period, corrections included). It applies the checks of the official offline utilities and writes the same file format, and works on any operating system. Also free: preparation checklists, cited guides, blank working templates, an offline receipt-allocation checker, a browser RCM self-invoice PDF maker, and MCP tools for AI assistants. Coming soon: connectors that bring records in from Zoho Books and Tally. Fast GST Refund does not file the application and is independent of GSTN and the Indian government.

MCP endpoint: https://fastgstrefund.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP; no account needed). Guidance tools: get_refund_checklist, search_refund_guides, read_refund_guide, explain_upload_error, check_receipt_allocation. Allocation checks accept anonymous row numbers and integer INR paise. Generator tools, three for each file and used in order: get_statement3_requirements and get_annexure_b_requirements (fields and sources), validate_statement3 and validate_annexure_b (free, read-only; every error with a plain-language fix), generate_statement3 and generate_annexure_b (return openUrl, a link the user opens in a browser to sign in with an email code, pay once for the claim and download). The assistant never handles passwords or payment. An account can optionally be connected by OAuth so that files for paid claims return through MCP. The public JSON checklist API also remains available.
