Claim GST Refunds on Inward Supplies for Diplomatic Missions & Specialized Entities
Streamline your tax refund claims on Indian purchases and institutional expenses with a official Unique Identification Number (UIN). Under Section 26 of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, foreign embassies, high commissions, United Nations (UN) organizations, consular posts, and notified international organizations are granted a UIN instead of a standard GSTIN. Holding a UIN allows specialized entities to claim a 100% refund of the GST paid on inward supplies of goods and services within India. SetCorpTax manages your complete UIN registration process—from drafting Form GST REG-13 to Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) coordination and officer query resolution.
Why Securing a UIN Registration Under GST is Essential
Obtaining a uin registration under gst is the legal prerequisite for foreign diplomatic missions and multilateral agencies operating in India to claim tax refunds on their procurement. Unlike regular commercial businesses that file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B to offset output liability, a UIN holder uses their specialized identifier to file tax refund applications (Form GSTR-11 / Form GST RFD-10) for taxes paid on official purchases, venue rentals, vehicles, hospitality, and administrative supplies.
The registration process involves stringent document verification, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) protocol checks, and specialized portal submissions under Form GST REG-13. Any errors in application details or protocol documentation can lead to significant delays in allotment and blocked refund claims. Our dedicated international tax consultants review your entity documentation to ensure flawless execution and prompt UIN issuance.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding GST UIN Registration
A UIN is a 15-digit specialized identification number assigned by the GSTN portal. Similar to a regular GSTIN, the first two digits represent the State Code where the entity is located, followed by a unique alphanumeric sequence identifying the diplomatic or specialized agency.
No. UIN holders (embassies, UN bodies, consulates) are exempt from filing regular monthly tax returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B). Instead, they file Form GSTR-11 (an information statement of inward supplies) on a quarterly or monthly basis to claim refunds of GST paid on their purchases.
UIN holders claim tax refunds by filing Form GSTR-11 along with a refund application in Form GST RFD-10. The supplier issuing invoices to a UIN holder must mention the entity’s UIN on the tax invoice so that the details auto-populate in the refund statement.
Core documents required for UIN registration include:
Approval / Protocol Letter from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India.
Authorization letter naming the Authorized Signatory / Head of Mission.
Proof of Office Address (Lease Agreement / Electricity Bill / Embassy Premises Allotment).
Identity & Address proof of the Authorized Signatory (Passport / Diplomatic ID Card).
