I have to pay 45k around CC bill, min amount due is 2250/- but the refund of 30k has been credited  in my cc account. What should I do in this case? Will the bank consider it as payment against my due?How can i take it as refund in my bank account?

As per rbi guidelines refund should be treated as payment. But In case of ICICI, they chose not to follow it.

So you need to pay 45K bill if you want to avoid any Charges.

Because last month I got charged 1100 Rs because they didn't consider refund as payment.

Sbi hdfc etc dont consider it as payment, but as I've heard, icici marks it as payment and you dont have to pay that amount.not personally tested.

If refund is from billed transaction (billed in old statement) than you dont need to pay that amount. If refund is from unbilled transaction, it will not be treated as payment.

This!
Source transaction should be from last statement, if not what's the point? You can make a transaction, cancel it within minutes and skip paying cc bill forever? 
In any case, keep paying the min due to avoid negative remarks in credit info companies. banks/cc issuers are known to refund the finance charges easily (/ through RBI Ombudsman), but it won't be that simple to fix CIBIL/Experian

Usually it is allowed if payment made via bank/card own payment gateway &/or the card holder is also having a savings acc in same bank. Only sbi card gives an "official" excess refund option.

You shoukd have paid minimum amount due. All bank credit cards need minimum due amount to be paid to avoid late payment fees irrespective of refunds.

You need to pay 45k. I had the similar situation in July 2022 and paid 500 penalty.

You have to pay the billed amount, nothing can done. The worst thing you can't transfer surplus amount later to your bank account without charge, at least SBI give this option but others bank  adjust the surplus amount.
