It is recorded as a regular verb in this table. Its V2 form is referred, not refered — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it hard.
V2 stands alone in the past simple — Referred at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.
It means संदर्भ देना, भेजना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
