| An Entire Financial Year Validity | Once submitted, the letter of undertaking is valid for the entire fiscal year for which it was submitted. So, unlike the reimbursement process, an exporter does not have to follow the formalities each time an export consignment is made |
| Simple and online process | Since April 2018, LUT submission and acceptance are both done online. For approval, the applicant is not required to appear before the officers. A few necessary documents can be submitted online to finish the process |
