GST LUT Filing

File a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) to make export supplies or supplies to SEZ without payment of IGST.

Overview

A Letter of Undertaking (LUT) allows registered exporters to supply goods or services for export or to SEZ units/developers without paying IGST. Instead of paying IGST and claiming a refund later, the exporter furnishes an LUT and exports without tax payment.

Eligibility

  • Any registered person making zero-rated supplies (exports or supplies to SEZ)
  • Should not have been prosecuted under GST/CGST/IGST Act with tax amount exceeding Rs 250 lakhs

Key Points

  • LUT must be filed annually before the start of each financial year (or before the first export of the year)
  • Filed online on the GST portal in Form GST RFD-11
  • No bond or bank guarantee required for LUT
